Viper

Power, politics and pirates collide in the first book in the Isles of Storm
and Sorrow trilogy.

Marianne has been training to be the Viper for her entire life - to serve and
protect the King and the citizens of The Twelve Isles - but to become the
Viper and protect the islands she loves she must find the strength to defeat
her father.

He will make me a killer.
Or he will have me killed.
That is my destiny.

Seventeen-year-old Marianne is fated to one day become the Viper, defender of
the Twelve Isles.

But the reigning Viper stands in her way. Corrupt and merciless, he prowls the
seas in his warship, killing with impunity, leaving only pain and suffering in
his wake.

He's the most dangerous man on the ocean . . . and he is Marianne's father.

She was born to protect the islands. But can she fight for them if it means
losing her family, her home, the boy she loves - and perhaps even her life?

A brave heroine. An impossible dilemma. An epic fantasy trilogy set on the
high seas.
