An elf princess in exile. A pirate with a promise. A war that will unite or destroy them.

Princess Shuka, once a proud and pampered elf of the Southern Lands, is stranded in the treacherous Marshes of Mu after a devastating dragon attack. Her world is overturned when she falls into the clutches of fearsome marsh wights and is rescued by the jaunty pirate, Captain Rolf Fox.

Rolf vows to restore Shuka to her father, even though her haughty demeanor taxes his patience. The challenges escalate after he discovers Shuka's father has already left her for dead. Emperor Raglan's fleet of dragon ships threatens to invade the Marshlands, and Rolf must organize the defense against this implacable enemy. With war on the horizon, he is torn between his duty to his people and his promise to Shuka.

Shuka must swallow her pride and join forces with the pirate and the barbaric Marshmen to defeat the enemy invaders before she can sail home. As battle rages and passions ignite, will they triumph over a relentless enemy or will their differences tear them apart?

Danger and unexpected love beckon in the magical tales of Oakenwald.
