As a boy, Elias learned the hard way what happens when you dont heed the old tales.

Nine years after his lack of superstition got his father killed, hes grown into a young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea and her fickle favor. As stories of the fishermans son who has managed to escape the most deadly of storms spreads from port to port, his devotion to the myths and creeds has given him the reputation of the luckiest bastard to sail the Narrows.

Now, hes mere days away from getting everything his father ever dreamed for him: a ship of his own, a crew, and a license that names him as one of the first Narrows-born traders. But when a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea with more than one secret crosses his path, Elias faith will be tested like never before. The greater the pull he feels toward her, the farther he drifts from the things hes spent the last three years working for.

He is dangerously close to repeating his mistakes and hes seen first hand how vicious the jealous sea can be. If hes going to survive her retribution, he will have to decide which he wants more, the love of the girl who could change their shifting world, or the sacred beliefs that earned him the name that hes known forSaint.
