Under the Mark of the Sun

Summary:

Two years after Fisher Tiger ripped hundreds of slaves from the Celestial Dragons’ chains and formed the Sun Pirates, Sora finds herself trapped with a crew she fucking hates. Fish-Men — monsters in her eyes — who saved her but didn’t exactly earn her trust. Life on their ship is messy : fights break out, jokes get cruel, and yeah, there’s a whole lot of flirting, tension, and messy hookups going on.

Scars run deep, loyalties get tested, and the line between hate and something way more complicated? Let’s just say it’s thinner than you think.
