    Summary

    Desperate to escape the iron grip of King Todoroki’s Empire, Prince Shouto, his bodyguard Izuku, and their closest friends flee under cover of night. But their freedom is short-lived. Captured by the notorious pirate crew of Ground Zero, they find themselves at the mercy of Captain Katsuki—feared across the seas for his ruthless reputation and volatile power.

    Imprisoned and awaiting ransom, the crew soon realizes a harsher truth: the king would rather see his son sink beneath the waves than return to claim the throne. But when the Scourge rise from the depths and attack, pirates and fugitives must fight side by side to survive.

    What begins as an uneasy truce turns into something far more dangerous as Izuku uncovers the truth behind Ground Zero’s cruelty. Loyalties will be tested, and survival may cost more than any of them are willing to give, especially when the heart becomes involved.

    ***NOTICE***

    I am in the process of going through and updating this fic. Though the essence of the story will remain the same, I am adding more detail, character development, side events, angst and tension, and--towards the end--a scene that will change the rating from Mature to Explicit.
