A Deckhand Came Between Two Brothers

Aiden is a lowly deckhand who has long dreamed of swearing the Sea Oath to Ethan, the captain's adopted son. On his eighteenth birthday his Tide Mark finally appears, and he pleads with Ethan to accept him, only to be publicly turned away as the mark slowly fades. When Ryan, the captain's wild blood son, comes back to the ship, he mocks Aiden at first yet quietly looks out for him. Soon the witch Riley reveals that Aiden is bound to a second oath-bearer, and the mark burns brightest whenever Ryan is near. Torn between the brother who broke his heart and the one who never gave up on him, Aiden finds himself caught in a battle between two brothers over his heart.
