Seeking a powerful weapon to avenge her broken heart, Esmae tackles threatening elements of her past and an army of supernatural enemies while searching for the truth behind what happened to her father.

Esmae once wanted nothing more than to help her brother, Alexi, win the crown of Kali. That dream died when Alexi broke her heart, and she vowed to destroy him for it. And with her sentient warship Titania beside her, how can she possibly fail? As gods, beasts, and kingdoms choose sides, Alexi seeks out a weapon more devastating than even Titania. Past lives threaten the present. Old enemies claim their due. And Esmae cannot outrun the ghosts and the questions that haunt her. And in the shadows, lurking in wait, are secrets that will swallow her whole. -- adapted from jacket
