    The sea doesn’t forgive. And it never forgets. 
Pirate captain Corinne Vayne lives by three rules: trust no one, take what you can, and never bleed for love. But when she hauls Selene Marrow from the wreckage of a storm, she doesn’t just rescue a survivor—she takes in a secret. Selene is curvy, cunning, and on the run from a blood-soaked betrothal, with a bounty on her head and a fire in her eyes that threatens to unravel everything Corinne built. 
As ghost ships rise and cursed mist closes in, Corinne and Selene must fight back-to-back to survive the wrath of a sea that demands sacrifice. But love—fierce, forbidden, and blood-bound—may be the deadliest risk of all. 
They weren’t made to kneel. 
They were made to burn. 
Sapphic pirate romance meets dark nautical fantasy. Full of storm-soaked kisses, soul-deep vows, and women who’d rather drown the world than be caged by it.

    In the late 19th Century, a literary movement arose across both prose and poetry, that championed the idea that art should exist for its aesthetic value, unburdened by moral or social obligations.  As a consequence, it challenged the strict moral codes of the Victorian era, often exploring themes associated with eroticism, forbidden desires, artificiality, the ravages of time, beauty, death, and decay which were often perceived as transgressive, even taboo. 
Within its ranks are a who’s-who of unconventional and confrontational talent as well as perhaps its greatest exponent; Oscar Wilde, whose embracing of moral rebelliousness and unmasking of Victorian hypocrisy sums up the movement’s greatest achievement.

The story follows Dr. Maya Wong, a brilliant AI researcher, and Zane Abdullah, a charismatic politician, as they deal with the complex and often troubled relationship between humanity and its most powerful creation. The book opens with a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Global crises, political turmoil, and environmental disasters set the stage for AI's emergence as a potential savior. As AI technology rapidly advances, it promises solutions to humanity's most pressing problems but also raises thoughtful questions about control, ethics, and the very nature of being human. "2084" explores the impact of AI on every aspect of society, from crime and justice to healthcare and education. We witness the rise of AI-driven governance, the transformation of work and leisure, and the emergence of a new world order. Throughout the story, Howard deftly portrays the hopes and fears surrounding AI, highlighting the potential for both progress and peril. Will AI lead us to a utopia of peace and prosperity, or will it usher in an era of unprecedented control and alienation? This thought-provoking novel invites us to consider these questions and imagine the possibilities of a world shaped by the minds of metal and magic.
