Sail. Salvage. Repeat.

For as long as Toby can remember, he and his father have sailed on the Phoenix, salvaging from the junk-filled seas to stay afloat, while keeping under the radar of the authorities. His father is, after all, a wanted man.

And now the Phoenix is on the trail of the ultimate prize: a salvage of solar panels that could mean they'll never need to hunt for fuel again.

Ayla is second-in-command on the rival Banshee, where she's trained her whole life to fight-just as her mother, Captain Nell, demands. Since childhood, Ayla's been taught the Phoenix must be destroyed. With the ship in their sights, her crew is desperate to have the precious intel, too.

Toby's sick of a life at sea, and Ayla may be his only hope. Can he turn an old feud into a new alliance that will save both their skins?

Award-winning author Bryony Pearce brings the high seas to life with her rousing steampunk pirate adventure that will have you craving more.
