She might as well have been a bird with broken wings. To Cirrus, “Princess” was merely a title ed upon her. Living in the shadows of her brother, she would never have the crown but is expected to suffer like someone who will all the same.

Females in the royal family are educated to be literate in Coelum, a dead language used solely for the purpose of reading ancient scriptures that describe heaven’s secrets. When a mysterious map, written in a language no one understands falls into the hands of a band of pirates, the world is sent into ablaze by the pirates’ fiery determination to claim the treasure.

Cirrus is abducted by Captain Baekhyun of the notorious Lux Pirates, and the devilish captain has no intentions of letting her escape from him. Now a prisoner, it seems as if Cirrus’s already small cage has become even smaller. She has everything he needs in order to find the lost treasure and become King of Pirates. He has nothing to offer her in return, save for a glimpse at what life is like through his eyes.

But then again, pirates don’t exchange; they steal.
