Told in a sharp, witty voice, with surprises at every turn, Vale's interwoven plots of a young captain who desires to be pirate queen, a criminal on the waves who dreams of being king, and a stowaway bent on revenge will lure readers into the watery depths of a single-sitting read. Though each of the three leads has a specific motivation for partaking in the chaotic Trials, when their worlds converge, they might realize they have more in common than they thought. Featuring a compelling voice, well-crafted characters, and a perilous plot that threatens the lives of everyone involved, this start to the Kingdom of Bones series will speak to fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and high-stakes dystopian adventure.
