When a chance stop back home brings him the information he needs to finally find the blade, nothing will stop him from claiming it for himself.
Until an irritating Council heir stows away on his ship...
Despite his crew's pleas, Declan can't shake his protective nature and agrees to see her safely to the next port. But when she turns out to be the key to his quest, he'll have to set aside his hatred for her and her family... or throw away his one chance at freedom.
