The Privateer and The Mysterious Kingdom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539824497)

Under the command of the dashing privateer Richard of Arcadia, the Morning Star valiantly navigates treacherous and unwelcoming waters in a world where dragons and fairies and even gods uneasily coexist with mortals. In this tale of intrigue and magic, Richard's integrity will be put to the ultimate test-and perhaps love will be his reward.

Richard is leading a flotilla of refugees fleeing the fearsome tyranny they suffered in Dragonia when the Morning Star is horribly damaged in a tremendous battle. The crew and those they are protecting are forced to land on a mysterious, uncharted island.

Richard of Arcadia seeks out the beautiful ruler of this strange place to request asylum-but to his surprise, he falls in love with her. What's more, she returns his feelings. Other powerful entities fear such a union, however, and plot to thwart him and the queen. Soon, Richard is just trying to survive another day on this island of impossible challenges. And maybe the queen isn't quite what she seems.

The Privateer and the Mysterious Kingdom is a thrilling and captivating story of daring, romance, and honor-and about a man determined to do what is right despite the odds.
