Prologue

Evanora Lockett got more than she bargained for when she dreamed of sailing with pirates.

Scarred one night by the poison ink of a pirate’s pen, she finds herself as the key to a malevolent curse, an ancient rivalry, a realm of fantasy…and perhaps the heart of one roguish young man.

The pirate is untamed, with captivating green eyes and a wild air of adventure.

But the mysterious shadow-boy possesses a cheeky smile and an intriguing set of secrets.

And it’s hard to keep your distance when the treasure they all seek is tattooed across your skin.
