The Price of Redemption

De: Shawn Carpenter

Narrado por: Carlotta Brentan

A debut swashbuckling fantasy following a powerful sorceress, the Marquese Enid d’Tancreville, as she is forced on the run where she meets a vast cast of characters including a young sea captain who has need of a sea mage. Perfect for fans of Patrick O’Brian, Naomi Novik, and Brian McClellan.

Despite her powerful magic, Marquese Enid d’Tancreville must flee her homeland to escape death at the hands of the Theocratic Revolution. When a Theocratic warship overtakes the ship bearing her to safety, Enid is spared capture by the timely intervention of the Albion frigate Alarum, under the commend of Commander Rue Nath.

These circumstances make for an odd alliance, and Enid finds herself replacing the Alarum’s recently slain sea mage. Now an officer under Nath’s command, Enid is thrust into a strange maritime world full of confusing customs, duties, and language. Worse, as she soon discovers, the threat of revolution is not confined to shore.

A fusion of High Fantasy and classic Swashbuckling Pulp.

Written in an older tone and a deep vocabulary (worry not- the supplemental PDF will straighten you out) this reads like you'd find it in an old steamer trunk on a stormy night.

The narrator is delightful, and I hope they'll be returning for the next book as well.

Eagerly awaiting the next in the series.
