Violet Oberon had never stepped foot on land. Six hundred years after the Nightweavers claimed human lands for their own, the ocean is a haven for seventeen-year-old Violet and her family. Notorious pirates of the Western Sea, the Oberon clan are undefeated in battle-until an Underling murders Violet's brother, and she discovers there are monsters more fearsome than the Nightweavers that have taken them captive. When the son of a wealthy Nightweaver shows Violet and her family mercy, offering employment at his estate rather than enslavement, Violet vows not to forget that he is everything she hates. But as she adjusts to her new role as a kitchen maid at Bludgrave Manor, she finds that hatred is a curious thing. Arrogant, entitled, right hand to the wicked prince, William Castor might be the key to avenging her brother-and reclaiming her freedom. But mercy always comes with a price. As Violet hunts the Underling responsible for her brother's death, dark secrets threaten to unravel everything she thought she knew about the Nightweavers, herself, and her world. Torn between family loyalty and a chance at revenge, the cost of learning the truth about her brother's murder could be her life.

The book kicks off with an instant, bringing you into the plight of the Oberon family. You learn of the characters through a very fast paced first chapter, leading you to believe that this pace will continue through the book. Instead it comes in ebbs and flows, mixing romance with action. The book is an absolute joy to read, the nuances with the family bonds mirror nicely with the overarching found family vibes. There are plenty of mysteries for the reader to sink their teeth into as well as some shocking reveals and twists. The book builds up to the dramatic reveal, bringing all the plot elements together. It would have been nice to focus more on the characters' feelings throughout the end to really increase the shock factor and develop a deeper connection to the reader, however that is the only issue I take with this book. I also congratulate the author for using unheard of or irregular word choices to educate the reader and keep language growing.
