The Wolf and the Sea

Eraedia Haelorus is cursed. Not her fault, her family decided it would be a good idea to go against the wishes of a sea goddess. Spoiler: it wasn't. 

She even had her whole future planned.

Political alliances. Royal duties. A life mapped out from birth.

Then pirates took everything.

Captured and brought to sea, branded, collared, and sold into slavery, Rae is thrust into a brutal world where titles mean nothing and freedom has a price. Surrounded by thieves, slavers, and rival pirate crews, she clings to the only thing they cannot take from her: who she is.

But when her defiance draws the attention of the infamous Pirate King, Rae finds herself caught in a dangerous game of power, loyalty, and survival. As tensions rise across the seas and old loyalties begin to fracture, she must decide who she can trust—and how much she is willing to sacrifice to reclaim her freedom.

Because surviving captivity may be the easy part.

Keeping her spirit intact is another matter entirely.
