But then Ravyn meets Thorne, a young commander from a different clan. He and his Warriors have travelled into the Old Sequoia Valley to rescue castaways.

The Petticoat Pirate
​
Josephine Teversin was fifteen years old when her father was murdered by pirate hunters. She’s the last of her kind—an immortal pirate without a ship or crew, and her magic is unstable at best.
It’s 1773, and tensions are rising between England and the American colonies. Rumors of war are running rampant. But immortal pirates never choose sides…until the hunters find her again.
Josephine is kidnapped and brought face to face with her father’s murderer—Garreck Skulthorpe. Her choices are simple: become his spy or face the hangman’s noose. A female who sword fights and picks pockets will be a useful undercover agent after all.
Armed with a fan, an exploding pocket watch, and erratic powers, Josephine is drawn into a deadly battle between pirate hunters, a rogue witch, and the Patriot rebels. She must risk her very life in order to thwart Skulthorpe and his nefarious plans for the colonies—all while wearing a stuffy ball gown.
And everyone knows…pirates do not wear petticoats.
The Petticoat Pirate
and the
Rogue Redcoat
​
Against all odds, Josephine Teversin survived the attack at the masquerade ball and embraced her identity as an immortal pirate, but her business with Garreck Skulthorpe and his pirate hunters is far from finished.
​
Josephine forms a temporary alliance with ex-pirate hunter Nathaniel on a daring quest to rescue her best friend and take revenge on Skulthorpe for his crimes. Unscrupulous pirates, hurricanes, and a mutinous crew are the least of her worries. A rogue witch stalks their every move as they race north to Boston.
​
As the American colonies continue to splinter apart under British rule, Josephine must face the harsh truth of her father’s past while wrestling with her own reckless choices.
The Petticoat Pirate
and the
Shattered Souls
​
A storm is brewing on the horizon.
After the harrowing voyage to Boston, Josephine’s attempted rescue turns into disaster. Although Garreck Skulthorpe is dead, Nathaniel is now a traitor to the British Crown and Oliver has been twisted into an enemy.
Pursued by pirate hunters, the British Royal Navy, and a witch bent on revenge, Josephine and Nathaniel journey to Salem in search of answers and a counter curse for her best friend. She discovers dangerous secrets about her past instead – secrets her father risked his life to hide.
As rebellion in the American colonies heats up, Josephine must learn to trust her magic – and her heart – to protect the ones she loves.
