"A rags-to-riches story with the promise of revenge... Captivating."―Kirkus Reviews

When Amaya rescues a mysterious stranger from drowning, she fears her rash actions have earned her a longer sentence on the debtor ship where she's been held captive for years. Instead, the man she saved offers her unimaginable riches and a new identity, setting Amaya on a perilous course through the coastal city-state of Moray, where old-world opulence and desperate gamblers collide. Amaya wants one thing: revenge against the man who ruined her family and stole the life she once had. But the more entangled she becomes in this game of deception - and as her path intertwines with the son of the man she's plotting to bring down - the more she uncovers about the truth of her past. And the more she realizes she must trust no one?
