Bae was cursed. Blocked from the sea. Since he wasn’t willing to give Undine a sacrifice to cross her boundary, the sea witch had taken what he would miss the most.

That was why he was after Soraya’s kingdom. Not only would it be a land of his own, but with Soraya by his side—or rather, Soraya’s magic by his side—he’d also be able to sail whenever he chose.

She couldn’t shake the menacing pitch of his voice when he’d threatened her. I know what I want. And I don’t give up until I get it.

Well, he wasn’t the only one. She knew exactly what she wanted, and she wouldn’t let him distract her from her mission any longer. Wincing at the cut on her hand, Cali reached for the pouch within the pocket of her skirt when a beam of horror suddenly struck her.

The memory replayed in disastrous slowness.

She’d reached for the plant-filled bag.

Watched it fly across the narrow deck.

Seen it sink into the sea.

Not only had she lost the small sliver of respect she’d held for Bae Kelsey, but the pouch of glitz foil she’d managed to procure from Soraya was also gone.

All she’d been concerned with was that irksome pirate, with how alluring he was, and with how badly she’d wanted to give him the kiss he’d asked for.

She stomped her foot against the floor of the surrey, frustration straining through her. “Thank you for the ride,” she told the driver, not answering his question. The moment they came to a full stop, Cali leapt from the surrey and dashed toward the palace’s keyhole-arched door.

Racing to the staircase, she flew up to the princess’s chambers. Soraya wasn’t in the antechamber, so Cali pounded hard against her inner door.

“What is the meaning of this?” Soraya demanded, whipping it open. Either fear or fury filled her wide eyes, making them gleam. “Why are you all wet?”

“Please, do you have the book you promised?”

Brow stitched in confusion, Soraya entered the antechamber and pointed. “There, by your bed.”

Cali rushed over, weaving through the chairs surrounding the star-shaped table on her way. A thin volume bound in maroon leather with leaves etched along its border proclaimed in scrolled lettering—Plants of Lunae Lumen and Their Uses.

She hugged it to her chest before opening it to flip through the pages. The plants were listed alphabetically, and she used the index, searching until she found what she wanted. There,
