The Deals of Caroa

Lucy Byrne's future was a clear path forward before she was torn from her world and thrust into Caroa, a land ruled by dark magic and an unforgiving tyrant. Here, safety comes at a steep price: impossible bargains that ensnare desperate souls.

Stolen away by a crew of pirates on the orders of the tyrant of the realm, Lucy finds herself under the protection of their leader, Asher Black. As she learns to survive, she's drawn to him in a bond as powerful as the man they fight against.

But every choice comes with a cost. As enemies close in and fate tightens its grip, Lucy must decide what she's willing to sacrifice—for herself, for those she refuses to lose, and for the pirate captain who may be her only hope.
