PREQUEL
ACROSS DARK SEAS
Half-human, half-fae, and with rebellion in her blood, Lady Avice chafes against society’s strict rules. Climbing trees, cursing, and running through the woods with young men are all strictly forbidden.
Eloping with a man she’s fairly sure she loves must be the solution to all her problems. But her white knight quickly loses his lustre when they’re chased across the country by armed men and forced to flee in a pirate ship.
With the wind in her hair, sea spray on her face, and magic stirring in her veins, the pirate life might be exactly the freedom she’s been longing for. But what’s freedom when her husband is still chained to tradition?
If you love adventures with magic, romance, and heroines who discover their power, you'll love this prequel to the new adult fantasy series that’s perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas.

BENEATH BLACK SAILS
With weather magic on her side, Vice is the bane of the high seas, but she isn’t captain of her own ship. Yet. If she can prove herself and get a command, she’ll be in charge of her own fate at last.
To pay off his family’s debts, Knigh Blackwood hunts pirates for the Royal Navy. When the bounty on Lady Vice grows, he’s determined to make her face justice, even if that means beating her at her own game.
Forced to work closely, neither can deny the tension that crackles every time they’re together. As they face battles at sea and scheming crewmates, they find hints of a long-lost treasure that could be the answer to both their problems.
But treasure isn’t the only thing buried. Secrets best-forgotten lie in wait that could blast them apart forever. And the closer Vice and Knigh grow, the greater the threat—to her life and to his family. Because for one to succeed, the other must fail.

AGAINST DARK TIDES
Notorious pirate Lady Vice has lost everything: ship, crew, and friends. Even her body has betrayed her, leaving her magic weak. To make matters worse, she’s stuck at sea with the man who stabbed her in the back.
Knigh Blackwood is no longer a captain, no longer a pirate-hunter, no longer … anything. All he has left is the woman he betrayed, and she’d rather cut out his tongue with his own dagger than forgive him.
There’s just one thing that might make up for what they’ve lost: Drake’s treasure.
But they’re not the only ones searching for clues and the elusive X that marks the spot. Between them and the treasure stand a scheming duke, a former lover, and a sea monster thought the stuff of legends – not to mention Vice and Knigh’s complicated feelings for each other.

UNDER BLACK SKIES
Reunited with her crew, Vice is on the hunt for Drake’s treasure. But there’s a good reason it hasn’t been seen in two hundred years – it’s hidden by fiendish clues and deadly traps. To keep her crew – her family safe, she can’t afford a single misstep. That’s easier said than done with a distraction like Knigh Blackwood around.
Knigh might not sail for the Navy anymore, but he’s found a new place in the world – home with Vice on the Venatrix. Even as he longs for more than ‘just friends’, he battles with demons from his past and one from his present. To save his family, he needs money. Lots of it. A legendary treasure would be the perfect solution.
But traps and troublesome feelings aren’t the only dangers they face. When treachery strikes at the heart of pirate-kind, no one is safe: not their home, not Knigh’s family, not even the Pirate Queen herself.

THROUGH DARK STORMS
Castaway on a desert island, Vice has lost everything and everyone. If she’s going to live – truly live, she must not only fight to survive but also battle her inner demons. Only then can she escape her island… and her past.
Without the woman he loves, Knigh is unravelling like a frayed rope. And around him, the refugee fleet that fled the battle of Nassau is low on food, water, and options. As the Royal Navy closes in, they must keep one step ahead or all they sacrificed will be for nothing.
But finding their way back to each other isn’t the end of their problems. With thousands of lives at stake, they can’t run forever. They need the impossible: a home that’s safe from Mercia’s vengeance.
Maybe, just maybe, the answers lie not in their future, but in the past and its long-lost treasure.
