Devlin Cato is the captain of a cursed ship and can step foot on land for one day every seven years. Once again, he’s found himself using it to chase a deserter across the continent. his hunt is short-lived when Fenna agrees to take on her brother’s twenty-five-year debt in exchange for leaving her smoldering city to heal. As Fenna spends more time aboard The Phantom Night with the ship’s mysterious and seductive captain, she soon finds herself caught between loyalty to her brother and her fiery passion for Devlin Cato. But the path to ending the curse isn’t as easy as it seems when Fenna’s dark secret is discovered, a secret that threatens the very foundation of the continent’s stability and one that anyone would be willing to kill for. ***** The Audient and The Phantom Night is the first book in an interconnected series of standalones, which means that, while the main story will be completed, there will be unanswered questions about the world and conflicts. Additionally, is not a retelling of either Beauty and the Beast or The Legend of the Flying Dutchman. Rather, it is a story inspired by aspects of the two tales, met in the middle in a new and unique pirate fantasy romance.
