    Summary

    Kamiya Kaoru buried her past at an altar and boarded the Crimson Dawn disguised as a boy — a desperate gamble to escape a life of servitude. She thought survival would cost her name. She didn’t expect it might cost her heart.

    Feared across the seas as the ruthless pirate Battousai, Himura Kenshin hides a bloodstained past beneath waves of justice — his ship a sanctuary for the broken and a nightmare for slavers.

    When Kaoru’s secrets and spirit collide with Kenshin’s buried humanity, trust is forged, loyalties are tested, and a slow-burning bond threatens to ignite a war within.

    On storm-swept decks and in the shadows of cannon fire, identity, honor, and longing will clash — and neither may survive the tide.
