Eliza was comfortable with brewing away life in the thriving island city of New Amrestir, until the day a retired and fire-fueled sailor named Nemo stumbled through her coffee shop's door. With a frame of brass and a heart to match, Nemo's bright view on life burns hot enough to set Eliza's own heart aflame.

When an ill-fated voyage and a piratical plot threatens to tear the new couple apart, Eliza and Nemo must face the ghosts of not only their own pasts, but those haunting the sea as well. Can the embers of their love survive the storm, or will their future together be left to rot away?
