Evelyn is a witch with a gift for bad decisions. She steals from her vampire ex-boyfriend and tumbles through a portal into Threshold, a magical sea that flows between realms. A crew of seafarers pulls her out of the water, and their captain, Bowen, gives her a simple choice: swear an oath to the crew or die. She swears. Bowen is telekinetic, duty-bound, and not at all prepared for the effect Evelyn has on him. His crew patrols Threshold to keep the portals between worlds secure. That is serious work, and Evelyn is not a serious person. She picks pockets, bends rules, and has no real intention of honoring the vow she just made. Bowen watches her and tries to stay focused on the mission. He cannot. The longer they sail together, the harder it gets to keep his guard up. But Evelyn is already planning her escape, and if she breaks her oath, both of them face the worst consequences the crew can deliver. She has to decide what she actually wants before Threshold makes the decision for her.
