Mary Firth is a Stormsinger: a woman whose voice can still hurricanes and shatter
armadas. Faced with servitude to pirate lord Silvanus Lirr, Mary offers her skills to
his arch-rival in exchange for protection—and helping send Lirr to a watery grave.
But her new ally has a vendetta of his own, and Mary’s dreams are dark and full of
ghistings, spectral creatures who inhabit the ancient forests of her homeland and
the figureheads of ships.
Samuel Rosser is a disgraced naval officer serving aboard Hart, an infamous
privateer commissioned to bring Lirr to justice. He will stop at nothing to capture
Lirr, restore his good name, and reclaim the only thing that stands between
himself and madness: a talisman stolen by Mary.
Finally, driven into the eternal ice at the limits of their world, Mary and Samuel
must choose their loyalties and battle forces older and more powerful than the
pirates who would make them slaves.
