    Literally a world apart, sisters Maree and Tarisa can only send a letter to each other every four days with the help of magic seals. With Maree in hiding on a ship with a murdered captain and Tarisa left behind to unravel the dark politics of the court her sister fled, will they ever see each other alive again? With two spunky female leads, the high fantasy novel Sisters of Swords and Secrets is half swashbuckling adventure, murder mystery, and romance and half court drama, love triangle, and historical suspense. Time in the story runs at the same rate as time in our world, so readers will get updates every four days just like the sisters do. FULL SYNOPSIS: When Maree dressed as a boy and fled on the nethership Beastslayer, she was just trying to avoid an arranged marriage. She sailed through the portal to another world never dreaming that her deception would be discovered-or that the ship would become stranded on a toxic, magical sea after a string of vicious murders-or that Maree would be elected Captain as the only magic worker left, the crew's only hope for salvation. Using a magical family heirloom, Maree sends a letter back to her sister Tarisa for help, only to discover Tarisa is embroiled in the aftermath of Maree's choices. The vile man Maree jilted won't give up, while Maree and Tarisa's family is being targeted by unknown enemies. Tarisa's engagement is thrown into jeopardy, her friendships strained or broken. As rumors of war with rival country Trifay are rising like smoke (after only twenty years of shaky peace) Tarisa uncovers a sinister plot of corruption half a century in the making, one the enemy is determined to see through. Though a world apart, Maree and Tarisa begin to suspect the dangers they face are intertwined. The secret to survival for them both could be in each others' letters. Navigating matters of the heart, of life, and death, will Maree and Tarisa be able to save themselves and the ones they love?
