Publisher's summary

Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to an allying pirate clan. But that only prompts the scorned clan to send an assassin after her. And when Ananna faces him down one night, armed with magic she doesn't really know how to use, she accidentally activates a curse binding them together. To break the curse, Ananna and the assassin must complete three impossible tasks all while grappling with evil wizards, floating islands, haughty manticores, runaway nobility, strange magic, and the growing romantic tension between them.

Get past the attempt at dialect and it’s an entertaining and enjoyable book

As another reviewer says, the use of strange grammar as a dialect was irritating. That’s especially true when the main character ‘s internal voice is quite lyrical. I cringed through the early dialogue, but stuck it out. Glad I did. Unique fantastical world and characters I need to learn more of. The ending is sadly a lead in to the next book, but I’m happy I can but it and keep listening. Narration is flawless.
One star less than perfect for the dialect grammar.
