When the Pirate King dies without an heir, three teens join a deadly treasure hunt to compete for the island throne.
*****
Seventeen-year-old Csilla yearns to prove her strength to the seasoned pirates who underestimate her. Kane, the descendant of a long line of pirate captains, is ready to prove he doesn't need dirty gold or shady deals to live up to his name. And Lorelei is out for revenge, unaware of the secrets of her past and the target on her back. With the king's death, the Trials begin-a bloody treasure hunt where the winner takes the throne. They each have a reason to fight for the coveted Bone Crown, but there are dark tides ahead. Facing battles at sea, a vengeful land god, and dirty deals made amidst a deadly treasure hunt, Csilla, Kane, and Lorelei must remember the most important rule of all-never trust a pirate.

The Purpose of Miss Shepley
Striving to secure her future through marriage, an heiress with a dubious pedigree begins to question who she truly is -- and who she wants to be. ***** Edith Shepley looks like a Wyrm. She takes after her father, whoever he was -- she doesn't know, and even if she cared to, it would hardly change things. She is a proper Folk lady, as sure as the sun rises, trained from the cradle to govern as Baroness of Ewert someday. And she knows her duty. A woman, now, at sixteen years old, the time has come for Edith to marry and beget Ewert's next heir. Journeying from country estates to city townhouses, through war-ravaged lands in between, Edith diligently considers suitor after suitor, some sweet, some baffling, some detestable -- and, suddenly, who her father was begins to matter very much. The more she sees of her mother's society, the more Edith questions whether she really is Folk, after all. And the more she's stung by its insults, its injuries and injustices, the more she wonders if she really even wants to be. But what is a proper young lady to do, if not her duty?

Played for the Satisfaction of Others
On Revelry Island, eighteen-year-old Anya has mastered the art of pleasing others. A songwriter, she was raised by her boss, Byron, with exacting intent and trained to be a perfect, dependable, obedient product, meant to be presented to the world. Trained from the age of six in nothing but music, art, and drama, Anya writes music and performs to ensure the survival of Revelry Island. And, twelve years later, she cannot argue with the results of her raising: world fame, professional prestige, and relative safety. And, just as Byron planned, caught between the conflicting expectations of her sly boss, pirate captains, and military officers, Anya has learned to keep the delicate balance of these three volatile organizations. And she is damn good at her job. Yet deep in her heart, in a place she keeps hidden from her friends and coworkers, Anya sometimes has thoughts about a life outside of Revelry Island.

So, with the help of a sarcastic conductor, a wary adventure crew, a noble, resolute first mate, and a competitive sea captain and a dutiful pirate captain (who both feel an immediate disdain for each other the moment they meet), is Anya willing to fight and risk everyone's lives for the future she has always dreamed of? Or will she safely live her life for the satisfaction of others? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Chapters Will Be Posted on Sundays at Noon EST.
