The Wayward Sword

As long as Aaren poses as a man, none of her crewmates aboard the Crimson Lord can guess at her mysterious past. But when her disguise is exposed, she must return to land to prove herself and regain her crew’s trust. Her mission is simple: steal a ring off the king’s neck.

But a brutal murderer lurks on the coast, one who seems bent on exposing her whereabouts. Pressured by her exile, chased by a serial killer, Aaren races to earn her spot back at sea before she loses her head—or herself.
