What do you do with a drunken sailor when the world is underwater?

My name is Bird Howsley, and I'm a beautiful disaster. Or...maybe just a disaster, period. In a brutal dystopian waterworld where survival depends on the ocean, I've spent twenty years wondering why I don't fit in. My sailing academy rivals are thriving, but I always seem to be one bad decision away from life going completely down the drain.

Even Sargo is getting impatient with me. He's my mentor-two years older, already a captain with his own boat, and everything I'm not: a strong sailor, level-headed, admired. And surly. Super surly. I suspect there's more going on behind that hot, confident mask than he lets on.

Did I say hot? I didn't mean hot. He's just a mentor. I definitely don't have sex dreams about him.

Anyway, two days ago, a mysterious message arrived...from the brother I thought was dead. He knows something about my past. Something that might explain why I don't belong in this world. I need to find him-but to do that, I'll have to cross a deadly ocean ravaged by storms, bloodthirsty pirates, and dark political secrets.

I definitely can't do it alone. I definitely need help...maybe from a hot captain who already has his own boat...
