Pirates of Aletharia
Golden Crown Literary Award (Goldie)
By Britney Jackson
Emilia Drakon's quest for vengeance will lead her right into the arms of the most dangerous pirate in Aletharia, Captain Maria Welles.
A 2022 Goldie award-winning sapphic fantasy for people who love dangerous women, magical worlds, and lesbian pirates.
Emilia Drakon was once the youngest and kindest of the dragon sorcerers, but she’s now the last of her kind. Betrayed and angry, she trades her meekness for a sword and embarks on a quest for vengeance that will lead her straight into the arms of the legendary Captain Maria Welles.
Captain of the famed pirate ship, the Wicked Fate, Maria is every bit as treacherous and bloodthirsty as they say. She has her own vendetta and practically jumps at the chance to trick Emilia into joining her crew.
But when their animosity toward each other blossoms into a passionate romance, the two women will have to decide what they want most.
Vengeance?
Or love?
