Most people believe the Celestial Stone is a myth. After all, no one has seen it for three hundred years. But King Eathen is determined to find it and use it to rip open the fabric of the universe to steal power from the spirits of creation. But the powerful witch who can help him, Farrell, has escaped into the past, into the land of Cambria. Pirate ship Captain Shane loathes the evil king, but with her sister held hostage by him, she has no choice but to do as he commands and travel to Cambria to retrieve Farrell. To help her, the king sends along a less powerful witch, Amara, and a former pirate captain, Varan. Long ago, Shane and Varan had been lovers. But the fury and bitterness in his heart, along with the limp he now has, are the result of the torture he'd endured after Shane betrayed him. He agrees to Eathen's demands only to protect Amara. Forced to work together, as passions flare, will Shane and Varan discover the secrets buried in their hearts while they race to discover the secrets of the deep?
