Though listed as a YA book, the themes are what I would consider New Adult or older YA. There is some closed door spice and some fairly graphic scenes.

With the feel of Pirates of the Caribbean meets Ancient Rome, the political intrigue, diplomacy, negotiation, and travel paints a glorious picture of a world where the major empire is trying to take over the world and impose their views on anywhere they conquer. With a merchant sailor thrust into a pact with a legionnaire who has his own personal secrets, these enemies to lovers make the storyline extremely enjoyable.

The end of the first book of this series has left me with many emotions and a ton of questions! I am picking up the 2nd book ASAP to be brought back into this wonderful world that Danielle created.
