Blackwater

By Emily Blakeney

Book Overview

There is much to be done when the kingdom isn't looking.

Iona Strider is a ruthless pickpocket cursed with a disobedient shadow. Violent, too. Worse, she can't remember who cursed her, or why. But she does know one thing: with each passing day, her control of the shadow dwindles.

In her relentless pursuit of answers, she winds up stealing from the wrong man: Captain Liam Blackwater of the Wraith. A man who, according to legend, might just turn the Silver Seas red.

Blood-bonded together by a dishonest mistake, Iona begrudgingly teams up with the handsome rogue to embark on a bloody, swashbuckling quest in the hopes that she can break the curse of her shadow once and for all.

Alas, it's never that simple. Especially when Liam and Iona can't keep their hands off each other.

But as they carve a path through the realm, disastrous secrets of the kingdom are revealed, and when shocking revelations of her true past come to light, Iona must decide whether she is to become the kingdom's villain, or something else of her own making.
