Enemies. Lovers. Enemies once more. Now they must work together to survive. Notorious pirate Lady Vice has lost everything: ship, crew, and friends. Even her body has betrayed her, leaving her magic weak. To make matters worse, she's stuck at sea with the man who stabbed her in the back. Knigh Blackwood is no longer a captain, no longer a pirate-hunter, no longer ... anything. All he has left is the woman he betrayed, and she'd rather cut out his tongue with his own dagger than forgive him. There's just one thing that might make up for what they've lost: Drake's treasure. But they're not the only ones searching for clues and the elusive X that marks the spot. Between them and the treasure stand a scheming duke, a former lover, and a sea monster thought the stuff of legends - not to mention Vice and Knigh's complicated feelings for each other. If you love the scheming of Black Sails, the high seas adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean, and the romance of Holly Black, you won't want to miss this heart-pounding new series. Buy Against Dark Tides now and escape to a magical world where enemies become allies and even the closest lovers can become the worst foes.
