***The Ossining Sea Trilogy: Book 1*** The sea is an empire, and only the most powerful can claim to rule its tides. Sisters Zenith and Alessandra were born into a life of pain and torment at their father's cruel hands. When Alessandra goes missing with no word as to her whereabouts, Zenith breaks free of her prison in search of her. Little does she know that the world she will find outside her home is more perilous than what she escaped. Pirate Captain Gareth Magnus is at the precipice of greatness. With a fleet to his name and all the most prosperous trade routes under his grasp, Gareth's final challenge is to gain control of Port Augustine, the center for trade in the Ossining Sea. This challenge is only made more perilous when princess of Port Augustine winds up on his ship, and brings with her a storm he could never be ready for.
