'High-seas adventure meets rich fantasy worldbuilding and strong character development' Kirkus Reviews
–
A war-scarred mage. A sentient ship. A secret that could drown empires.
Rescued from a wreck and waking aboard the Touchstone, a legendary vessel crewed by outcasts and ruled by a secretive elven captain, Ensign Honor Renn finds herself caught in a mission that could change the world.
The disaster that sank her last ship didn’t just take lives. It left something inside her, a dangerous magik everyone wants, and it’s killing her.
Now hunted by spies, princes, and privateers, Renn must decide who to trust before her power consumes her, or ignites a war that sets the sea on fire.
Ship of Spells is a fast-paced romantasy of magic, danger and slow-burn desire — perfect for fans of Samantha Shannon and epic high-seas adventure.
Review:
This read had a very interesting magic system that unfolded beautifully throughout the story. The world felt rich with potential, and the author’s imagination really shone through in how magic interacted with the characters and setting. I do wish there had been a bit more depth or explanation to the system itself, it felt like there was so much more to explore, but overall, it was a creative and engaging read that kept me intrigued from start to finish.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
