She finds herself kidnapped by Santa Elena, a vicious pirate queen, and now she has to train a Reckoner pup to hunt for the pirates. On Cassandra’s first day solo on the job, everything goes wrong. In a world where sea travel is imperative and countries have fallen to lack of order, Reckoners are vital to the survival of many ships.
