The kidnapping pirates from Travels with a Fairytale Monster get a book of their own …And this time they’re (kind of, almost, maybe) the good guys! Uriah- It’s the pirate’s life for Uriah! Epic sea battles, beautiful women, double-crossing crewmen… Sure everyone hates him, but no other existence would be half as fun! Nicknamed the “Ocean’s Shame” for his duplicitous ways, Uriah has spent his life mastering swordplay and exploring uncharted lands. Until, one day, he ends up on the wrong side of a fight and stumbles across something worth a lot more than a buried chest of gold. Ransom- A losing battle with pirates has left Ransom blind, scarred, and with no memory of her old life. Uriah is the only one she trusts. For five years, she’s been on his “crew,” which mainly means she does all the planning and worrying for her irresponsible captain. When the two of them windup in an unfriendly land, with no ship and no money, they realize they’re going to need someone to swindle. Quick. Luckily, they’ve got a line on a moron with a treasure map. The Plan- Step 1: Don’t kill their annoying client, his put upon wife, or his nightmare of a mother-in-law. …At least not until the annoying client leads them to the lost city he’s searching for. Step 2: Hold the queen’s pesky brother hostage, just in case she’s holding a grudge over the whole “abduction” thing from the last book. Step 3: Avoid all the other pirates and immortal bad guys out to kill them. Step 4: Don’t look into Ransom’s past. Ever. Step 5- Start to see your partner-in-crime in a whole new light. Because, maybe nobody likes fairytale pirates …but that doesn’t mean they can’t fall in love.
