Full Synopsis
A debt to the galaxy's powerful elite could cost her everything.

Madison "Justice" Caertais's wandering father, Terry, needs her help repaying a debt that has him in the clutches of the sinister bankers of Sherman, Gotrice & Darber.

Their only hope is Terry's dangerous plan to capture the legendary pirate ship The Gentleman Caller and its notorious captain Arthur Lancing Darber. This could finally free them from the banks' clutches and the debts of Terry's overeager dreams.

With the Gypsy Rose and their freedom on the line, can the Caertais family survive being pulled into the vortex of Terry's ambitions? Or will they all be consumed by the banks' greed for repayment?

Sailing aboard her father's battered ship, Madison must overcome her inner demons and a legion of outer obstacles—ruthless pirates, monstrous creatures, and a renegade captain driven by an insane obsession.

Facing betrayal, and the haunting specter of a legendary "living" metal ship, can Madison achieve the impossible and emerge a freelancer captain in her own right?

Will she find justice in the deep dark . . . or be consumed by it?
