"In the year 2514, the only thing more dangerous than the seas is those who sail them. Compass Ross was born facing due north, with an inherent perception of cardinal points flowing through her veins. Over the course of the last year, she has come to learn that life aboard the mercenary ship Man o' War is rarely dull as hurricanes, swarms of jellyfish, and man-eating squid pose daily doses of danger. But when intrigue and subterfuge from enemies old and new begin to swirl around the ship's captain, the infamous Miranda Stillwater, even an uncanny sense of direction won't be enough to help Rose navigate these dangerous straits. As dark secrets bubble to the surface and everything she's fought so hard to accomplish begins to crumble, Rose learns the hard way that she'll have to rely on the only person who can save her from certain disaster. Unfortunately, that person is Compass Rose herself"--Back cover

In the year 2513, the only thing higher than the seas is what's at stake for those who sail them. Rose was born facing due north, with an inherent perception of cardinal points flowing through her veins. Her uncanny sense of direction earns her a coveted place among the Archipelago Fleet elite, but it also attracts the attention of Admiral Comita, who sends her on a secret mission deep into pirate territory. Accompanied by a ragtag crew of mercenaries and under the command of Miranda, a captain as bloodthirsty as she is alluring, Rose discovers the hard way that even the best sense of direction won't be enough to keep her alive if she can't learn to navigate something far more dangerous than the turbulent seas. Aboard the mercenary ship, Man o' War, Rose learns quickly that trusting the wrong person can get you killed--and Miranda's crew have no intention of making things easy for her--especially Miranda's trusted first mate, Orca, who is as stubborn as she is brutal.
