The author of the Mistborn series delivers a breathtaking standalone fantasy steeped in the magic of the open sea, as the humble islander Tress is forced to become a stowaway in a deadly mission to find the Sorceress of the Midnight Sea.
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie.
But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?
