There's a time to hide, a time to run, and a time to fight.

Dain Alloway was only nine years old when he started a new life with his father, sailing aboard the ship, The Maiden. Eight years later, the aristocratic-city-boy-turned-merchant-sailor feels afloat, like he has no home, like he lives with one foot on land and one foot in the ocean. A predicament he plans to remedy until the night he wakes to find a mysterious woman in his cabin.

The events that unfold after her appearance transform Dain's world. Now, hunted by empty-faced demons, he finds himself thrown into a dangerous mystery filled with intrigue and magic. As the crisis grows, the young sailor discovers powerful elemental gifts buried deep within, talents that might just shift the tides. Whether or not he's ready, Dain will have to risk it all for the salvation and freedom of those he loves.
