PIRATES
The news is out! Next July, DARK WATER DAUGHTER, the first book in my next series THE WINTER SEA is coming from Titan Books. Yes, this is between the release of Barrow of Winter and HOS4 - I will have books releasing every six months in 2023/2024 and I'm so thrilled to share all these stories with you!
A little more about DARK WATER DAUGHTER...
In a Baroque-inspired fantasy world of warring fleets and winter seas, Mary Firth is a Stormsinger; a woman whose voice can still hurricanes and shatter armadas. Faced with servitude to pirate lord Silvanus Lirr, Mary barters her skills to his arch-rival in exchange for protection - and more importantly, his aid in putting Lirr in a watery grave.
But Mary's dreams are dark and full of ghistings, spectral creatures who inhabit the ancient forests of her homeland and the figureheads of ships. Her new ally has his own vendetta, complete with revenge and a lost fleet, locked in the eternal ice of the far north, and disgraced pirate hunter Samuel Rosser is close on their trail. Samuel will stop at nothing to restore his good name and claim the only thing that stands between himself and madness: a talisman stolen by Mary herself.
Atmospheric and action-packed, Dark Water Daughter is a swashbuckling fantasy with a dark folktale twist, ideal for fans of RJ Barker, Katherine Arden, and Naomi Novik.
You can already add Dark Water Daughter and DWD2 to your shelves. UK preorders are fully open, and Canadian/US preorders will follow in the next few weeks.
