About the book

A gilded cage is still a cage. Will love set her free or trap her forever?
Half-human, half-fae, and with rebellion in her blood, Lady Avice chafes against society’s strict rules. Climbing trees, cursing, and running through the woods with young men are all strictly forbidden.
Eloping with a man she’s fairly sure she loves must be the solution to all her problems. But her white knight quickly loses his lustre when they’re chased across the country by armed men and forced to flee in a pirate ship.
With the wind in her hair, sea spray on her face, and magic stirring in her veins, the pirate life might be exactly the freedom she’s been longing for. But what’s freedom when her husband is still chained to tradition?
If you love adventures with magic, romance, and heroines who discover their power, you'll love this prequel to the new adult fantasy series that’s perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Miranda Honfleur.

    I don't know how to put it into words, but for me there are two kinds of prequels: the ones that really add to the story and deepen my understanding for the characters and those that give me “the main series was written without specific back stories in mind and now said story has to be constructed somehow”vibes. Unfortunately , this one felt like the later. Especially her love interest felt so flat as a character and everything revolving him, felt so predictable to me. Moreover, many things felt a bit rushed and uninspired? Like her reasons to leave her family, their escape, the captain’s reason for letting her join and the ending/ fight especially. Nevertheless, I got hooked on the idea of fairy touched pirates. So I added the main series to my wishlist.
