Now for the cover!
Nobody wants to be called Scarface, especially a young she-elf among the vain elves of Enar.
For eight years, Lily Delaney endured mistreatment for the scars that cut across her face. Scars she bears from her mother’s death. Her father, the famous Captain Ellwood Delaney, had shipped her off to a boarding school while he embarked on one last expedition to find the legendary Bloodstone. A stone of wealth and power forbidden by the Dragons.
Lily longs for her father’s return and the freedom of the open seas. Not the stifled luxuries and social hierarchy of the painted elves. Yet when her father’s ship is found adrift in siren-infested waters, Lily is left with a debt she cannot pay and is sold to Captain Piero DeMonte, a fearsome dwarven pirate with a vendetta against her father.
Because her father isn’t the only one searching for the Bloodstone.
On the run from pirates and treasure hunters, Lily races to locate her father and fix the mess he created. But she unearths more than she ever imagined. Long forgotten truths challenge her perception of the Dragons, and she must determine who to trust and what she believes.
Retracing her father’s steps comes at a high cost, and not everyone wants Lily and her mismatched crew to succeed. As more secrets unravel, one truth rings the loudest: some things should never be found.
So….what do you think???
