As a boy, Elias learned the hard way what happens when you don’t heed the old
tales. Nine years after his lack of superstition got his father killed, he’s
grown into a young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea
and her fickle favor. As stories of the fisherman’s 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, he’s 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 he’s spent the last three years working for.
He is dangerously close to repeating his mistakes and he’s seen first hand how
vicious the jealous sea can be. If he’s 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 he’s
known for—Saint.
After years of escaping deadly storms and gaining the reputation of being the luckiest to sail the Narrows, Elias's luck may have run out when he crosses paths with a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea, who tests his faith like never before.
