Sassinak was just 12 when raiders destroyed her home and took her captive. But she was no ordinary slave girl. With grit and cunning, she escaped her captors and joined the Fleet, determined to hunt down the pirates who ruined her childhood. Now a seasoned captain, Sassinak commands her own ship, leading daring missions to dismantle the very pirate network that once enslaved her. But as she closes in on her enemies, she must confront her own painful past and decide whether to settle the score or forge a new path forward.
