The Chronicles Of The Lost Isles

Book One: The Awakening Isles

Nine islands vanished from the western sea. Not sunk. Not burned. Withdrawn. For three hundred years they lived on as a drunkard's tale and a scholar's obsession, until the map that leads to them woke up.

Captain Clara Winters lost a crew in cursed waters seven years ago, and Black Harbor still calls her the Wraithwoman. When a dying scholar summons her to a burning monastery and presses a living chart into her hands, she inherits both his secret and the men hunting it.

She is not the only one sailing west. Lauren Fenwick wants her father's work finished, whatever it costs her. Rook Draven wants the fortune that might buy back a stolen sister. Daniel Vargus, a disgraced commander with nothing left to defend, wants a reason to stand. And Captain Morven wants the Ember Crown, the one relic that can force the Isles to open.

What waits beyond the mist is not treasure. It is a lattice of fire, tide, shadow and memory, holding the world's elements in balance and holding something far older in chains. Break it, and the Isles wake screaming.

The map has chosen its passengers. The sea remembers every debt unpaid. And beneath the deepest water, something ancient has begun to listen for a heartbeat it recognizes.

A sweeping epic fantasy adventure of pirates, oracles and drowned magic, for readers who like their maps dangerous and their crews doomed.
