The inaugural title in a new series from fantasy writer Long (Barrow of Winter) is filled with pirates, magic, and adventure. Mary Firth is a Stormsinger, a weather witch able to manipulate the weather through song for any ship’s captain, a valuable power for a sea-based nation. Escaping after being enslaved, Mary soon finds herself the most wanted person between a group of pirates, pirate-hunters, and her country’s navy—because she is the key to a long-sought prize: a massive treasure hoard and even greater magical power. Thus unfolds a swashbuckling adventure with plenty of magic and enough conspiracies to keep readers turning the pages. The novel showcases what Long does best: create a believable world populated with a range of fleshed-out characters and a strong lead, wrapped in a well-told story.
VERDICT This new series crosses genres and ages and is one that Long’s fans will love and new readers will embrace.
