Ghosts of the South Sea

Eleanor, a runaway thief from a British-occupied colony, survives by her wits and stolen coin. Marked by chains she escaped and haunted by the empire that enslaved her, she drifts from port to port with nothing but stubborn will and a knack for trouble. Her fate changes the night she crosses paths withAyame, the infamous Japanese pirate whose name strikes fear across the seas. Instead of punishment, Ayame offers Eleanor a place in her crew of ex-slaves, convicts, and rebels—outcasts united by their hatred of Britain.

Among the chaos—failed heists, shadowy bargains, and duels that shake reputations—Eleanor must decide what she truly wants: revenge, freedom, or a family worth fighting for.
