After her
family is killed by corrupt warlord Aric Athair and his bloodthirsty army of
Bullets, Caledonia Styx is left to chart her own course on the dangerous and
deadly seas.
She captains her ship, the Mors Navis, with a crew of girls
and women just like her, who have lost their families and homes because of Aric
and his men. The crew has one mission: stay alive, and take down Aric's armed
and armored fleet.
But when Caledonia's best friend and second-in-command barely survives an attack thanks to help from a Bullet looking to defect, Caledonia finds herself questioning whether to let him join their crew. Is this boy the key to taking down Aric Athair once and for all...or will he threaten everything the women of the Mors Navis have worked for?
