In the year 2513, the only thing higher than the seas is what’s at stake for those who sail them. Rose was born facing due north, with an inherent perception of cardinal points flowing through her veins. Her uncanny sense of direction earns her a coveted place among the Archipelago Fleet elite, but it also attracts the attention of Admiral Comita, who sends her on a secret mission deep into pirate territory. Accompanied by a ragtag crew of mercenaries and under the command of Miranda, a captain as bloodthirsty as she is alluring, Rose discovers the hard way that even the best sense of direction won’t be enough to keep her alive if she can’t learn to navigate something far more dangerous than the turbulent seas. Aboard the mercenary ship, Man o’ War, Rose learns quickly that trusting the wrong person can get you killed—and Miranda’s crew have no intention of making things easy for her—especially Miranda’s trusted first mate, Orca, who is as stubborn as she is brutal.

"The One-Way Effort" is a love story about a couple who have mismatched levels of commitment in their relationship. The story follows the protagonist, who is deeply in love with their partner, but struggles with the fact that their partner does not reciprocate the same level of commitment. Despite the disparity, the protagonist puts in significant effort to make the relationship work. They go out of their way to surprise their partner with thoughtful gestures and romantic outings, and they even sacrifice their own desires and interests to accommodate their partner's needs. However, as time goes on, the protagonist begins to realize that their one-way effort is unsustainable. They feel exhausted and unfulfilled by the constant imbalance in their relationship, and they start to question whether their partner truly loves them. In the end, the protagonist must make a difficult decision: continue to invest in a one-sided relationship or walk away and find someone who will love them with the same intensity. The story ultimately explores the painful reality that love cannot thrive on a one-way street and the importance of finding a partner who is equally committed.
