Voyage to King's Cove

An illustrated high-seas fantasy novel full of pirates, humor, magic, and adventure!


Ever since her mother was wrongfully imprisoned, Aila's been dreaming of the day she could bring her home again. The only problem? Her Ma's being held across the sea at King's Cove. An impenetrable Naval fortress surrounded by a massive stormwall. No big deal, right? Especially when you're juggling the responsibility of looking after your little sister, who has a knack for making things . . . interesting.


In a world where the navy can summon and tame storms with its powerful windsingers, Aila's dream seems impossible. But when a mysterious opportunity presents itself, nothing-not stormwalls, pirates, or the forces of nature-will stand in her way.


With her family at stake and her sister by her side, Aila will have to brave dangerous seas, dodge cunning pirates, and confront brewing storms that are more than just bad weather.

Absolutely wonderful seafaring story, magic system and characters. 

I should read ‘children’s’ books more often if they’re half as fun and enjoyable as this one.
