ISLES OF STORM AND SORROW 

YA: Fantasy Trilogy

The Viper of the Twelve Isles and protector of its citizens, has forsaken his duties in favour of cruelty and corruption. Only Marianne is brave enough to stand against him, but she will have to find more than courage, because not only is the Viper ruthless, he is also her father. So begins the Isles of Storm and Sorrow series, a tale of revenge, magic and self-discovery.

Marianne is now the Viper, but her hopes for peace in the Eastern Isles are being frustrated. The corrupt King remains on the throne, bandits are proving hard to stop and Marianne is not sure who among her crew she can truly trust.

For the islands to prosper, the invisible bond that once existed uniting land and sea must be reinstated. There's only one way that can happen - the return of magic. To do that Marianne must put aside all her fears: she must return to her roots, the Western Isles, and call on the power that runs in her blood.

She must become a Mage.

Only then, can she possibly command the army needed to finally take down the King.

Marianne has passed the ultimate test required to be a Mage. She is finally powerful enough to reunite the Twelve Isles.

But having exposed herself to the darker side of magic, Marianne is struggling. The magic within her is nearly impossible to control, and she becomes cruel and violent, mercilessly pursuing those who have harmed her in the past, ignoring the pleas of those closest to her to remember what's really important: saving the islands.

Everything she's fought for has come down to this. Will Marianne be able to fulfil her promise to bring peace to the islands when she can't even bring peace to herself?

Conquer the darkness. Control the magic. Save the Isles.
