Prisms of the Sunken Reach

Captain Yasmina al-Ghazwani rules the sunlit shallows of Tissint, raiding imperial convoys with a wink and an agile twin-hulled catamaran. Commander Mazigh Boubara is her exact opposite: unyielding, honorable, and commanding the deadliest warship in the royal fleet. When Mazigh finally corners Yasmina amid the calcite reefs, their long-awaited showdown is shattered by a catastrophic beam of focused solar energy that threatens to burn their entire island kingdom to ash. Trapped within a blinding maze of hardened light bridges and deadly mirages, the pirate and the commander must combine their navigational genius to survive. Every sword-clash and close call draws them closer, turning a sworn enmity into a scorching romance on the high seas.
