MAY THE SEA ALWAYS SING FOR YOU Cat Rose knows what it is to live in two worlds, in two times. Before - as Lady Catrine Rose of the Meridian Empire, chained to a loathsome lord with a dwindling fortune. And after - as the Widow Rose, queen of a pirate tavern on the Lyrian Sea, determined to be the master of her own fate. But tides turn and winds change. The Meridian Empire looms on the horizon, the full weight of her navy falling on the Lyrian, bent on reclaiming the wealthy colonies and crushing the pirate republic once and for all. Ship after ship is captured, save for one, captained by a pirate who continually evades both noose and blade: the legendary Valerian Kane. With his fearsome ship and uncanny connection to the song of the sea, Valerian is the only man who might rally the pirates who remain. The only man who threatens the Empire. And the only man Cat has ever loved, blazing in and out of her life like a star. Desperate for victory, the Empire offers Cat a devastating choice: bring them Valerian or hang. In truth, no choice at all. But Cat Rose is nothing if not a survivor. A storm is rising on the Lyrian Sea - the question is, what will it leave in its wake?PRAISE FOR VICTORIA AVEYARD:'World-building to rival the likes of George R.R.
