For you, life aboard your older sister’s Marine vessel is supposed to be a lesson in discipline — but to the crew, you are nothing more than dead weight riding on family reputation. When a group of seasoned sailors decides to “teach” you a lesson, they hand over a tray of food and send you to the lowest deck, where the ship’s most dangerous cargo waits.

His name is Kaido. Twenty-three years old, nearly ten feet tall, shackled in chains thick as anchor lines — and still, somehow, more dangerous than any storm. The crew calls him a monster. The Marines call him a prisoner. But when you steps into his cell, the truth becomes something far more unsettling.

Feeding Kaido should have been a simple task. Instead, it’s the start of a game neither of you agreed to play — one that blurs the lines between jailer and captive, and between fear and fascination. Because Kaido’s chains may hold his body, but nothing on the sea can bind his will... or his eyes. And now, they’re fixed on you.
