The pirates who threw Julian Ravenshaw to the sharks now trust him with their dinner. Their captain has no idea who’s holding the knife.
Julian is the last survivor of a royal house that lost its throne in a single night. The usurpers have put five thousand gold pounds on his head and sent warships to hunt him down. Their seers can track a fugitive across open water. To avenge his family, Julian needs a ship, a crew, and the power to take on a kingdom.
His advantage is a Logbook that turns buried secrets into supernatural powers. A dead sailor’s sword can show him how its owner was betrayed. The right secret can unlock a skill his enemies don’t know exists. He can also make his enemies look straight at him and see one of their own.
His new captain keeps man-eating sharks and a cookbook full of forbidden magic. His cooks rarely last a month. To claim a ship of his own, Julian has to earn the loyalty of men who fight for a share of the plunder. They trust him to get them through a storm. He needs that trust to hold when they find out what his head is worth.
A Ship for the Hunted opens The Heir Who Wouldn’t Drown, a pirate progression fantasy of naval combat, blood magic, and revenge.
Something dragged his family’s flagship beneath the waves. If the new king made a bargain with whatever lives down there, what did he promise it?
