Cruel Tides

Washed up on a speck of land after a shipwreck that killed her family, Margot Tremaine has never been more sure of something: She's lost the favor of the sea god. Her fortunes don't improve when the ship approaching her—the only hope she's had for days—turns out to be the vessel of the deadliest pirates on the sea. To save her own skin, she's willing to do the unthinkable and offer up her sole bargaining chip, one big enough to entice the pirates. But that means giving up her true name and taking a risk that the pirates are greedier than they are superstitious. Otherwise, she might find herself plummeting to the bottom of the sea.
