The Edge of the Abyss

In "The Stranded," Cassandra Leung grapples with her new life as a pirate trainee under the fierce pirate-queen Santa Elena while navigating her complicated feelings for Swift, the girl who once broke her heart. As she trains to control the sea monster Reckoner she freed, Cas faces an urgent crisis: escaped Reckoners are wreaking havoc on ships and the ocean ecosystem. Torn between her commitment to her new pirate life and her past as a Reckoner trainer, Cas must confront difficult choices to protect both the creatures she once cared for and the fragile balance of the NeoPacific.
