Captain Cait Molyneux was so close to being able to live her own life again. The weird, ancient map she agreed to transport was going to get her out of debt, win back the respect of her family, and maybe even patch over the scars of a mutiny. That map would keep Cait and her crew sailing.

Unfortunately for Cait, a map that strange tends to attract unwanted attention. Suddenly, Cait finds herself chasing murderers, running from pirates, dodging sea monsters and hurricanes, picking up strange but adorable runaways, and a person from her past she never wanted to see again. Why is her family so interested in that map, and what would they do to get it? And what, exactly, are the Kraken hiding?
