A gripping tale of adventure and romance unfolds in Compass and Blade, where Mira must navigate treachery to save her father and her island.
In Compass and Blade, readers are introduced to Mira, a wrecker from the Isle of Rosevear, who is tasked with plundering the wrecked ships that lie beyond her home. The sea calls to her, but her loyalty to her island and her family runs deeper. When a sudden storm brings the Watch to her shores, Mira's life is turned upside down as they take her father away, forcing her to embark on a perilous journey to reclaim his freedom. As she navigates the treacherous waters of both the ocean and her own heart, Mira discovers that trust is a fragile thing, especially when it comes to strangers like Seth and Elijah, who both hold secrets of their own.
The adventure unfolds as Mira delves into a world filled with wild magic and unexpected romance. She must confront a dark family secret that lies buried beneath the waves, one that could alter the fate of her island forever. As she grapples with her emotions and the choices that lie ahead, the stakes grow higher, and the price of her quest becomes increasingly steep. Compass and Blade is a tale of bravery, love, and the struggle to protect what truly matters.
With lyrical prose and immersive world-building, this young adult romantasy captivates readers with its blend of adventure and emotion. As Mira's journey progresses, the bonds she forms and the truths she uncovers will challenge everything she thought she knew about herself and her destiny. The enchanting narrative promises to leave readers eager for more, especially with the next installment, Shadow and Tide, on the horizon.
