The Red Horizon

Alfred has begun to learn the language of red sails.

Six months have passed since the tide carried him away from the life he was meant to obey, and La Dama Roja no longer feels like a cage beneath his feet. Her decks are familiar now. Her crew knows his name. Antonio's lessons have begun to settle into his bones, and the sea that once promised escape has become something sharper, stranger, and almost like home.

But belonging to a pirate ship does not make the world kinder.

Past the reefs and lanterns of Puerto Sombras, rumors drift in with damaged hulls and frightened mouths--ships flying stolen flags and northern waters gone feral somewhere beyond the reach of safe harbors. When a pirate lord vanishes after carrying news no one can afford to ignore, Alfred finds himself pulled farther from the shore than he has ever been before.

(The Red Horizon is the second book in Against The Tide, an original fantasy pirate saga about found family, war, loyalty, and the cost of finding home at sea.)
