It's 1923, Ember Bellamy is the queen of the pirate kingdom of Parley. At 17, she has been the leader of the Caribbean for a decade in name only. Her guardians seized her power, without plans to return it. Forced into an engagement with the American prime minister's son, Ember feels like her life is not her own. When her fiance, Zephyr, confides a sinister plot to her twin brother, Ember is challenged to either rise up and take back her power, or stand aside and watch her beloved kingdom fall.
