A pirate threat and a dangerous pursuit

On the Isle of Landin, Volke Savan and his adopted sister Illia are protecting newborn griffins when they encounter the corsair Calisto, who once took Illia’s right eye. Calisto is a powerful manticore arcanist, and Illia’s desire to bring him to justice raises the question of whether the pair can face his crew at sea. The premise combines magical creatures and arcane power with pirate conflict and a lost treasure worth killing for, placing the action in a fantasy world where personal history is bound up with the danger ahead.

Book overview

Pirates. Griffins. A lost treasure worth killing for.

While protecting the newborn griffins on the Isle of Landin, Volke Savan and his adopted sister, Illia, run afoul of the Dread Pirate Calisto, the same cutthroat who carved out Illia's right eye. As a master manticore arcanist, Calisto's strength and brutality are unrivaled, so when Illia suggests they bring him to justice, Volke wonders if they'll have what it takes to fight the corsairs on the high seas.

A fast-paced fantasy with magical creatures for those who enjoy the Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera series) by Jim Butcher, Unsouled (Cradle Series) by Will Wight, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan.
