A Broken Heart of Blackened Stone - Hardcover

A runaway princess. An empathic pirate who loves her. The warrior guarding her back. An adventure to sweep you off your feet.

Ida has an adventurer's heart. When she followed that heart, she left behind the jungle island queendom ruled by her mother and ended up on board a merchant ship, with nothing but the blade in her hand and the magic in her bones to protect her. One, she's great at using. The other, not so much.

Carrington's magic tells him there's something different about this girl who carries herself like a queen but wields a blade like a warrior. His magic also tells him she needs more protection from someone-he can't figure out who-on her crew than even she realizes. But keeping her alive is a heavier task than he bargained for, and unraveling her secrets turns out to be a full-time job of its own.

After a bad contract leaves the ship in dire financial straits, Ida needs all the allies she can get, and a sailor who seems to know too much is more alluring than she'd like to admit. Before the two of them can untangle their feelings for one another, Ida needs to save the ship, and that might mean heading for the one place she never thought she'd ever see again: Home.

Perfect for fans of Adalyn Grace and Victoria Aveyard.
