The storm has passed, but the true reckoning has only begun.
Shipwreck Bay lies in ruin. Maeve is a prisoner of a Skadian prince. Ronin is left behind, desperate to keep the pirate factions from tearing each other apart.
Maeve must survive Varric's attempts to steal her immortality and endure Nathaniel Pike's cruel games. But Death left her with more than warnings-every life lost brings her closer to understanding how to fight back.
Meanwhile, Ronin faces his own war. Pirate hunters have seized their safehold, and the fractured pirate crews are ready to turn on each other. To save Maeve-and the Isles-he must unite them all. But first, he'll have to reckon with the past he's tried so hard to forget.
Can Ronin become the king the pirates need?
Can Maeve hold on to her soul through the torment?
And when they finally meet again, who will they be?
