"The sea gives up its secrets reluctantly, but it always demands payment." The Empire of the Abyss is coming for Starweaver Academy, and Finn Tempest is running out of time. Three months ago, Finn was just another fisherman's son dreaming of adventure. Now he captains a legendary ship that whispers ancient secrets and commands a crew who've become his chosen family. But as dark vessels gather beyond the horizon, the academy that gave him everything faces its greatest threat. The Tidebreaker's power grows stronger with each passing day, so does the Abyss's hunger for Finn's soul. Marina's brilliant navigation guides them through treacherous political waters while her feelings for Finn deepen. Rowan's humor masks growing worry as strange ships multiply. Lena's combat skills sharpen, but even she questions if they're ready for what's coming. Corin uncovers disturbing secrets that suggest the enemy has already infiltrated their ranks. When corruption spreads like poison and enemies wear familiar faces, only the bonds of chosen family can stand against the darkness. As Finn unlocks more of his ship's devastating abilities, he discovers each victory demands a terrible price. The ghostly Abyssal Revenant haunts his dreams, and his bloodline marks him as either salvation or the key to everyone's destruction. But some powers are worth any cost... aren't they? 🌊 Epic nautical fantasy with found family at its heart ⚔️ Academy magic school meets high-seas adventure 💙 Slow burn romance that will steal your heart 🖤 Dark magic, political intrigue, and impossible choices Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Red Queen, and Percy Jackson!
