The dead are restless. The living are hunted. And Maaya's only hope is a beautiful pirate captain from the other side of the world.
Maaya sees what others cannot. A medium scraping by in the soot-stained slums of Sark, she relies on her deck of magic cards-and the ghost of her best friend, Saber-to survive in the backwater town where her abilities are considered dangerous. But when a terrifying undead force begins erasing townspeople from existence, she's forced to use her powers to protect them... and expose her secret in the process. Forced to flee the only home she's ever known even as she tries to save it, Maaya finds sanctuary on the Windfire, a swift pirate ship under the command of the infamous Adelaide Sol. Adelaide is everything Maaya is not: energetic, charming, and headstrong almost to a fault. She captains her ship with a bright smile and an iron will, but Maaya soon discovers she also wields a terrifying secret power of her own, one that could put Maaya's presence on the ship in jeopardy. As they work together to stop a century-old doomsday device ticking down across the sea, the friction between the wary medium and the confident captain ignites into something undeniable. But saving the world will require Maaya to sacrifice even more than she feared... and to trust a woman who might just steal her heart before the world ends.
