Princess Coriandra has no magic in a royal family defined by it, no claim to the throne, and no illusions about either.She has spent years quietly holding Venik together while her warlock father gambles, her magically gifted sisters chase power, and the kingdom rots beneath its jewels.But when King Doldus's debts finally come due, he divides the realm between Cori's ambitious sisters and sends her across the sea as payment for the money needed to save what remains.Disowned, powerless, and bound for an unwanted marriage, Cori must survive pirates, political betrayal, and the dangerous truth of her own forgotten past — before the kingdom that cast her out tears itself apart.Perfect for readers who love sharp-witted heroines, court intrigue, family betrayal, sea voyages, pirates, and fantasy worlds where crowns are never the same thing as power.
