Dema Ägan is a notorious pirate woman, who killed her former captain, stole his ship, and plies the seas with her J'Niah witch companion, Rymah. Or so the legends say. As her story unfolds from multiple points of view, these conflicting tales of adventure on seas filled with danger, ancient power, love and betrayal, indicate there might be more to her story than the legends suggest. "A magnificent speculative reimagining of classical nautical fiction. Rafala's swashbuckling tale fuses adventures on the high seas with alien tech to create a compelling modern narrative." - Tendai Huchu, author of The Maestro, The Magistrate & The Mathematician
