Chloe Neill brings her trademark wit and wild sense of adventure to a stunning seafaring fantasy starring a dauntless heroine in a world of magic and treachery.
Kit Brightling, rescued as a foundling and raised in a home for talented girls, has worked hard to rise through the ranks of the Isles’ Crown Command and become one of the few female captains in Queen Charlotte's fleet. Her ship is small, but she's fast—in part because of Kit’s magical affinity to the sea. But the waters become perilous when the queen sends Kit on a special mission with a partner she never asked for.
Rian Grant, Viscount Queenscliffe, may be a veteran of the Continental war, but Kit doesn’t know him or his motives—and she’s dealt with one too many members of the Beau Monde. But Kit has her orders, and the queen has commanded they journey to a dangerous pirate quay and rescue a spy who's been gathering intelligence on the exiled emperor of Gallia.
Kit can lead her ship and clever crew on her own, but with the fate of queen and country at stake, Kit and Rian must learn to trust each other, or else the Isles will fall....
Pirates, magic, and some steamy romance oh my. I was delighted by this story i throughly enjoyed it. We have a stowaway child, a sea captain that is disdained by not only the men in this profession cause she female but also cause she aligned (has use of magic).. I was wrapped up in the missions that were assigned by the queen in what ended up being a chase to discover how magic is being used against others in an underhanded way. I love the steamy romance that is brewing. I also adored the stowaway child and am eager to see what happens next.
