An Unusual Skill
All his life, Nate has dreamed of using his wind magic as a sailor in the imperial navy. By law, all Skilled must serve the Solkyrian Empire with their magic, and it’s a fate that Nate willingly embraces. Unfortunately, while Nate’s Skill makes him highly sensitive to the element, it’s not strong enough for him to control the wind, and his dreams of serving in the navy unravel. Disgraced, Nate is forced to resign himself to an unwanted fate, but that changes when he meets pirate captain Iris Arani.
A Legendary Treasure
After learning of Nate’s Skill, Captain Arani invites him to join her crew and carve out a new life free from the empire. But Arani wants Nate’s help finding something that only his magic can track down. Something so steeped in legend, Arani will need to risk the trust of her crew and her captainship to get it.
An Epic Adventure
As part of Arani’s crew, Nate will learn to use his Skill in ways he never thought possible. He hopes that will be enough to secure him the life he’s always dreamed of, if he can survive long enough to return home. But danger is everywhere on the high seas, even for a ship full of pirates, and Nate must learn to harness his true magic before Arani steers her ship and her crew into the heart of it all.

With the hunt for Mordanti’s treasure over, Nate Lowwind is just happy to be alive and among people he can truly call friends. But his freedom came at a steep cost, and not everyone is content with the price they paid. It doesn’t take long for secrets to spill, and the Southern Echo suddenly has enemies at every point of the compass… until Rori Goodtide steps forward with a plan.
A Haunted Past
Proposing the ship go west into the Forbidden Sea, Rori believes she can keep her own found family safe. All she has to do is protect the ship and crew in the face of her own demons while navigating the most dangerous waters in the world, bringing them to an island that exists on the cusp between two worlds. Rori has survived it all once before. She’s determined to do it again, if only to keep her own world from falling apart. If only a sea full of monsters and dangerous weather patterns were the worst threats to the Southern Echo.
An Impossible Journey
As the ship sails into the west, a plot to betray Captain Arani emerges. While Rori searches for signs of the mythical Vanishing Island, Nate races to unmask the traitor before a mutiny can tear the crew apart, but it may not matter if either of them succeed. The Southern Echo is out on another voyage, and only one thing is certain: this time, not everyone will return.
