From award-winning author E. J. Mellow comes the thrilling second
installment in the Mousai series, featuring a powerful sorceress who
finds her loyalties tested by a ruthless pirate lord.
Within the world of Aadilor, there is a hidden place called the Thief
Kingdom, where both magic and pleasure abound. There, the Mousai, a trio
of deadly sorceresses bound by oath and blood, use their powers to
protect the kingdom's treasures.
Niya Bassette brings the potent gift of dance to the Mousai, but behind
her tempting twirls, she carries a heavy secret--that the infamous
pirate lord, Alōs Ezra, has been threatening to exploit for years. Now
banished from the Thief Kingdom for smuggling, Alōs resurfaces in Niya's
life with a plot to hold her hostage, leveraging what he knows to extort
a pardon from the Thief King.
But Niya makes her own deal with Alōs to guard her secret and guarantee
her freedom--yet in doing so binds herself aboard his pirate ship, where
she must navigate deadly waters, a bloodthirsty crew, and her own
traitorous heart. Soon, a simmering attraction between her and Alōs
threatens their delicate truce and makes for a tumultuous ride on the
open seas. Far from her kingdom, Niya is entangled in a dangerous dance
indeed.
Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where dark deeds can mask noble hearts
and the most alluring of sways often ends with a burn. Care for a spin?
