As the son of two washers, Jace Kit has only dreamed of adventure-until a fabled Sea Sprite washes ashore and turns his world upside down.

The Sea Sprite needs a hero to save the Ocean Queen from a ruthless pirate terrorizing the Remos Ocean.

With a legendary trinket and handmade boat to his name, Jace is her only hope-even though he knows the trinket is fake. With Jace's skilled sailing and the Sea Sprite's magic, the pair enters a competition to win a ship capable of catching the pirate.

The only thing darker than the depths are the Sea Sprite's secrets, and Jace realizes too late his adventure might cost a price too high to pay.
