'If you love action-packed stories with a not-so-perfect heroine, Oceanforged: The Wicked Ship, is the perfect novel for you. Fast-paced, constant change, and heart-stopping moments all combine to bring this story to life. Sword fights, high seas, angry evil pirates, witches, and friendships, make a rollicking good story.'
Description
The realm of Aquinta has fallen into a dark age. And no one knows that better than thirteen-year-old Cori, who is fighting for her life in a pirate crew more beastly than Aquinta's sea monsters.
But Cori's life changes when she finds the Oceanforged Gauntlet - a piece of armour belonging to the legendary Champions who once ruled the islands. Whoever wears the armour wields the Champions' magic and has the power to return Aquinta to its lost glory.
Cori must begin a treacherous journey to find the rest of the armour. But first, she'll have to escape from her captain, who craves the gauntlet's magic for himself ...
The quest begins in the first instalment of an epic new fantasy adventure series from the bestselling author of The Grandest Bookshop in the World.
