Samara has both the bloom, a curse, and Levi Runes from her royal bloodline. Her ship was plundered leaving her floating on the sea on a make shift raft. Dorian is captain of The Red Mercy and they spot Samara floating at sea. He decides to save her and brings her aboard his ship.

Characters

Dorian

Intro

The Blue Tide took Tireth’s land first. Cities went under. Roads became channels. What was left of the world learned to live on hulls and floating timber, or it learned to drown.

The Red Tide came after, like a plague that had been waiting for the water to finish the work. It marked the living with a bloom — rust-gold under the skin, a brand that let a body tap the sea’s power.

Samara had both the bloom, a curse, and Levi Runes from her royal bloodline. That was why her ship had been worth plundering. That was why they had not bothered to kill her cleanly. They left her on a raft of broken decking and let the Red Tide decide the rest. She was twenty. She had been a captain that morning.

By dusk the boards were soft with red water and her braid was heavy with salt. The bloom burned under her collarbone every time a swell lifted the raft. The Levi Runes answered it, old script waking in her blood like something that remembered deeper water than this.

She did not call for help. There was no shore to call toward. A shadow cut the light first. Then a hull. Dark wood, patched sails, a ship that had learned how to stay ahead of the bloom-wake.
