Éloise had everything — a rising career on the Marseille docks, a name in society, a future she'd earned one voyage at a time. Then she was framed for treason by the very people she trusted most, and lost all of it in a single afternoon: her ship, her reputation, her freedom to walk the streets she grew up on without being watched.
Years later, she's back — commanding the Sémillante, and done waiting. What follows is a patient, ruthless campaign to dismantle everyone who destroyed her, one carefully placed move at a time: old allies turned into leverage, old enemies given just enough rope, and a city full of people who are about to learn that Éloise never forgot a single name on her list. Revenge, served the way the best ones always are — slowly, and in full view of everyone who thought she'd never come back.
