Ship of spells

A war-scarred magus. A sentient frigate. A secret that could sink empires. When Sub-Lieutenant Azumagus Honor Renn is rescued from the wreckage of her first naval outpost, she expects only death or disgrace. Instead, she awakens aboard the Cornerstone, a legendary vessel spoken of in harbor ballads and royal war rooms alike. A crew of misfits. A mysterious, elven captain. And a mission tied to the Great Barrier of Terror, the cracked wall of water that has kept the Upper and Lower Seas from erupting into all-out war for centuries. But the tragedy that sank her last ship didn't just claim lives; it left something in its wake. Now Renn carries a secret everyone covets. A chimeric, arcane power… that is slowly draining the life out of her. The captain's mission may be her only chance for survival, even if he doesn't yet trust her. Caught between privateers, princes, and spies, Renn knows that every decision she makes could sink her future or set the sea ablaze.
