A prodigy of physics. A world ruled by magic. A rivalry that could save them—or tear them apart.

Nineteen-year-old competitive sailor Rhye Jacobs trusted in one thing: the predictable laws of the universe. Until a freak storm, one that defies every scientific principle she knows, capsizes her boat and shatters her reality.

She awakens in Aeterra, a breathtaking world of impossible floating islands, majestic sky-ships, and treacherous currents known as the sky-seas. Mistaken for a magically-gifted castaway, Rhye is conscripted into the prestigious Esoloria Pirate Academy, a place where "pirates" are revered defenders and masters of the elemental art of Tide Weaving. Here, her scientific mind is a powerful, unorthodox weapon—and a direct threat to the academy's rigid traditions.

Especially to star pupil Leona vas Sterling, the heir to a legendary lineage who sees Rhye's logic-based methods as a reckless affront to her sacred world. Their rivalry is as fierce as the sky-currents, sparking a slow-burn tension that crackles with disdain and an undeniable, forbidden attraction.

But as Rhye struggles to forge a found family among her crew and navigate treacherous academy politics, she uncovers a conspiracy simmering in the shadows—one that threatens to plunge the entire Directorate into war. To save her new home, Rhye must do the impossible: meld science with a magic that defies her logic, trust the rival who challenges her at every turn, and become the very thing she never thought she could be—a hero.

Perfect for fans of romantasy, magical academies, and found family epics, this is a thrilling Isekai adventure where the heart's currents are as dangerous as the sky-seas.
