The Solomon Family used to rule Aurora. The emergence of the Council ended that, leaving the once-royal family outlaws in the land they once governed. Over a century since the end of the monarchy, Aldrich Solomon, last of the Solomon line, has lived his life surrounded and watched from all sides. Finished with his sixth and last year at Siren Academy, Aldrich, heart burning for adventure, sets out in search of it. When it comes in the form of a mysterious pirate ship built unlike anything he's ever seen, Aldrich is determined not to let it slip away. What follows is an adventure beyond Aldrich's wildest dreams, which takes him far beyond Outura and Siren, out into open, myth-filled ocean full of pirates and bounty hunters, cards and charts, coins and canvas. But the young, would-be king has to run fast to outpace the Council, and his crewmates have dangerous secrets of their own. If they are not careful, they may find themselves losing not only their stolen freedom, but their lives.
