Amidst the dangers of a pirate coup, she must find a way to keep herself safe

Amidst the dangers of a pirate coup, she must find a way to keep herself safe
with the help of only a pixie and one pirate captain. After a failed escape

that the stories she heard as a child might not be all just fantasy.
As Lyliana collects more allies, dark forces rise around her creating yet more
enemies, both at home and in the pirate camp. Despite these hardships, her
desire to escape becomes marred by newfound power and her mirky path grows
complicated. Will she honour her family and friends, or will she accept this
new life of hardship and adversity?
About the Author
I was born and grew up in Leicestershire, UK where I have lived my whole
life before joining the Merchant Navy at 18. I achieved my dream of becoming a
Master Mariner and held the post of captain for more than ten years, working
mostly on the West coast of Africa and the North Sea. Since before my sea
career I have loved writing. It gives me great pleasure to share my
creativeness with the world, but that is just gravy on top of meeting another
life goal. During my off hours I write, read and, occasionally do the odd
degree by distance learning. To date, I have master’s degrees in Creative
Writing and Environment, Health and Safety from the Open University and
Sunderland University respectively. My other main interest is tropical
fishkeeping though I have yet to write a story about them.
