Review:

This is a great duology! I couldn’t put it down! It hit the spot for my pirate story needs! I loved how it followed Meriden, as she was a strong, female lead that knew how to hold herself in a fight. I also really enjoyed Gregory’s POV as he has an interesting back story and has a lot going on in terms of ties with the pirates that are chasing them. The mythology behind the story was really interesting and different than a lot of other pirate books I have read. I highly recommend this duology to anyone who likes pirate books!
