Drowned Sea: A Dark Pirate Fantasy Adventure
Game of Thrones meets Pirates of the Caribbean in this thrilling tale of war, revenge, and adventure on the high seas! Lilyth the Red, an elite assassin, made a promise to her family. She failed to keep it. Now, she will stop at nothing to hunt down the pirates who wronged her-even posing as the champion of a goddess, brainwashing an army of cultists, and igniting a war so ruthless that it threatens to awaken the ancient horrors of the Drowned Sea. Erin Rose, a street urchin, only ever cared about picking pockets with her father. But that's no longer an option. Alone, the price of survival is costly, paid in flesh and brutality. The only question is whose blood will be on her hands: her own or her newfound friends. First Mate Jameson, a pirate-turned-storyteller, left a life of violence behind him. Or so he'd thought. But life on the sea is crueler than it has ever been. Trapped between sea monsters, cultists, and pirates, Jameson's stories might be his only salvation-and the ruin of the gods. War ravages the Drowned Sea, monsters rise from its depths, and heroes drown in them. In this world where land is sparse and gunpowder rules the sea, only the villains will survive. Lilyth is coming. No one is safe. All will drown.Complete
The Huntress ✓
(EDITORS PICK) In the bloody, ruthless, and decidedly uncouth world of 17th century pirates, can a woman deceive even those closest to her and survive? Bronte is forced to make some tough decisions about her life and livelihood at far too tender an age in a time and place when options for women are few. Port Royal, Jamaica, in the 17th century is only a good place to be if you're a pirate. And so, a pirate she is. A pirate's life is precarious enough without the added burden of hiding one's sex. But, if she is to survive, hide it she must. Lucien's father wishes him to take over the family merchant business but Lucien feels God has a different path; he longs to use his medical knowledge to help the less fortunate in the Caribbean. Just as he is about to embark on his God-given task, a certain pirate spoils his plans. Is he wrong about the path God has for him? Lucien is forced to work for his father and delay his plans until he can hunt down the pirate who thwarted him. He is sure he's a match for anything the pirates dish out but soon realizes he's gotten more than he bargained for and it just may cost him his life... ⭐️ Featured in Editors Pick 9/2020 Cover by @AzanthielComplete
