Shadow and Tide
The second irresistible adventure in the Compass and Blade trilogy, full of intrigue, sizzling romance, dark magic and monstrous beings.
A magical bargain always comes at a cost.
On Rosevear, Mira is plagued by nightmares. She is lost and untethered – and then the watch strike, burning her home. The attack ignites a spark within her, and Mira knows it’s time to call in her bargain with Elijah, and tear down Captain Renshaw and the watch. But she must find allies to help her unlock her siren abilities, and the witches aren’t all on Mira’s side.
In Coven Septern, Brielle has always believed in her work as a hunter, is proud to slay the monsters plaguing their world. She’s a trained weapon, a sharpened blade, a nocked arrow. She knows the blood she drains will be used for good, and yet her next assignment is a human girl. For in the eyes of the council, Mira is a monster, and monstrous creatures must be tamed …
Kompas a čepel
Na odlehlém ostrově Rosevear mladá dívka Mira, jako jedna ze sedmi členů své skupiny, pravidelně vyplouvá k vrakům lodí, aby je společně vyplenili. Její rolí je zachránit přeživší, pokud tedy nějací jsou. Miře její práce nevadí, nikdy totiž nepociťuje chlad oceánu a vlny jí promlouvají až do nitra duše.
Obyvatelé ostrova Rosevear ale nejsou ochotní přiznat pravdu – sami totiž zapalují světelné signály, aby lodě nalákali na skalnaté útesy. Když na ně však drábové nastraží past, aby jednou provždy ukončili tohle plenění, podaří se jim zatknout Miřina otce. V zoufalé snaze zachránit ho před oprátkou, se Mira rozhodne uzavřít dohodu se záhadným přeživším ze ztroskotané lodi, který ovšem skrývá za svýma dechberoucíma očima nejedno tajemství.
Mira se tak vydává na dobrodružnou výpravu, aby odhalila rodinné tajemství ukryté v hlubinách moře. Na záchranu svých milovaných má však pouhých devět dní a jediné, co ví jistě, je skutečnost, že moře dává, ale i bere.

Compass and Blade
Romance. Betrayal. Magic. The YA debut of 2024.
Mira is a wrecker, one of the seven chosen to swim out and plunder the wrecked ships beyond the Isle of Rosevear. The waves sing to her soul, the call of the sea beckoning her into deeper waters. But Rosevear needs her, and she could never abandon her home. Until one evening when lightning splits the sky and the Watch descend, taking Mira’s father away.
Mira must set off on a journey to win back her father’s freedom. She will encounter two strangers along the way – enigmatic Seth and smouldering Elijah – and learning who to trust will not be easy. When she discovers a dark family secret, buried deep in the ocean, Mira finds that securing her future – and that of her island – will come at a high price...
