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.
