She just wanted to be normal, but her gift made that impossible.
Everything changes when the empire announces a "hunt for saints" based on a new prophecy. Suddenly, Angela's peaceful home is in great danger. To make matters even worse, a group of pirates decides to board the ship she is on, specifically looking for the legendary saint.

But in her excitement and panic, she ends up accidentally kissing the pirate captain, Brad. Now, Brad is a man cursed with terrible insomnia, and he hasn't slept properly in ages.
