Synopsis

Where love meets legend, and the seas run red with betrayal.

Born of legacy. Bred in betrayal. On the dark waves, power is claimed by blood or prophecy—or drowned by both.

Juliette Chadwick Jaymes rules the North Sea with steel and cunning, but her feared bloodline lies in ruin—slaughtered over a map leading to a treasure cloaked in myth. Sold to the Krakenking and bound to his will, she must sail beneath his banner to find a relic powerful enough to bend the tides. To avenge and restore her family name—or vanish like mist on the swell—Juliette must navigate a sea of treachery, where vengeance is tangled in betrayal and every alliance, a risk.

Viktor Bloodfang, Pirate King of the South Sea, carries a legacy soaked in cruelty and a treasure cursed by the gods. For generations, his family guarded the relic’s truth—until the Krakenking learned their secret, shattered their fleet, and chained Viktor to his cause. If Viktor fails, he dies. If he succeeds, the seas may never recover.

Thrown together by fate and hunted by forces beyond their control, Juliette and Viktor find in each other an unexpected ally—and a dangerous temptation. But with curses rising on the wind and power balanced on a blade’s edge, they know love is a weakness they cannot afford.

To survive, they must find the truth of the treasure all factions seek—a truth that could free them or doom them to ruin.

If you crave pirate sagas shaped by fate and forged in blood, then you won’t want to miss Revenge on the Seas. Inspired by the Scottish legend of The Sea-Maiden and the myth of The Flying Dutchman, Revenge on the Seas begins The Shadow Sails saga set in a dark world of war-torn pirate factions, monstrous empires, and ancient enchantments.
