He nodded, “Anytime. Just as long as I’m able to wash up beforehand. After working in a hot kitchen all night, well... it’s not exactly romance friendly.”
Quesys chuckled. She pressed her body against his once more. “I’ll see you Saturday then.” she grinned as her eyes moved downward. Lifting her gaze back up to meet his, she crinkled her nose and added, “Until then… at ease First Mate Sunny.”

Quesys didn’t turn back. She was too busy beaming.

A few years later, we catch up with Quesys working aboard the Rusty Rod. She’s got a handle on the sailing life but yearns for an existence more daring than that of a mere deckhand. Little does she know that this is the least of her problems. When approached by a handsome elf with an attractive offer, Quesys, along with her friends Sunny and Darcassian, are thrust into a world of lies, deception and underground organizations.
Add to that a city divided by racial tension, a sticky love triangle, and a drunken illusionist with a penchant for bedtime stories, the fiery half-elf begins to realize she may have bitten off more than she can chew.
Will her determination and strength lead her to the ship of her dreams? Or will her stubbornness be her downfall?
