Description

A gilded cage is still a cage. Will love set her free or trap her forever?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 and Miranda Honfleur. Across Dark Seas is an epic adventure, the full-length prequel to Beneath Black Sails, a pirate fantasy adventure series featuring a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance. This prequel book does not feature a HEA, however the series does. As you might expect from pirates, these stories include mild cussing and steamy encounters.
