Death's Kiss

By M.M. Reeves

Dive in to the cruel and unforgiving world of the Cardinal North Order of the Tide Raiders in M.M. Reeves debut novel.

Twenty-year-old Merena Boreas has had to fight her way tooth and nail just to survive the last seven years of hellish instruction provided by the Cardinal North and has earned herself the esteemed title of Captain, just in time to complete her eighth and final year.

But this year is no normal year...

The legendary Vault has unexpectedly arisen, offering a chance to catch the eye of a TideLord and secure her and her crew's future careers, Merena stands on the precipice of an opportunity like no other. She's obligated to compete in the four deadly Pillar Trials against seven other captains from the three rival Cardinal Orders.

But when you're a castaway with no memory and a bastard's name to boot... you're also a target. A target for other captains-such as Captain Agni of the Cardinal South-the insufferably arrogant highborn who is every bit as ruthless as he is powerful.

It'll take more than just her rare elemental affinity to win The Vault, let alone survive each deadly trial.

Yet, with every day that inches past, something haunting is being whispered along the sea breeze. There's a darkness that presses into every corner of the daunting fortress of the Cardinal North. It's presence amplifies the wild and unruly beating coming from behind that wall of ice inside.

Something is coming.

A warning. A message. A memory.
