In reality, her father is a conman--and in a kingdom where the status of one's ancestors dictates their social position, the truth could ruin her.

When Sai learns that the ship might be heading for the fabled Sunderlands--a land of dragons, dangers, and riches beyond imagining--she must weigh the cost of her dreams. Vivid, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, this tale of identity and integrity is as beautiful and intricate as the maps of old"--Provided by the publisher.
