"When notorious pirate lord Alōs Ezra is exiled from the Thief Kingdom, he threatens to hold captivating sorceress Niya Bassette hostage to negotiate a pardon — but after boarding his ship, a dangerous attraction begins blooming between them" Of course it does because a brutal kidnapper deserves to have his victim fall for him. It's only right. Right? What a towering heap of crap this idea is. Why would he care if he was exiled? He's a fucking pirate! And why can't the sorceress end him and escape? And why the fuck is he a pirate lord, exactly? What the hell does that even mean?! Barf.
