Captive Hope

A plotting pirate. A conflicted mercenary. One devoted knight. And a girl who has no idea how important her life is to each of them.

Idra, esteemed lady-in-waiting to the high princess of the Twelve Realms, remains a virtual nobody within the walls of High Castle to everyone except Sir Ahmad who’s set his sights on a future with the soft-spoken, devoted lady. But in the absence of her courtly knight, even with her lackluster presence at court, Idra still manages to rile the ire of a dangerous pirate bent upon making her pay for past grievances and suffer a lifelong humiliation worse than death.

On a surprise trip to visit her family, Idra is abducted and whisked across the sea. No one knows. She’s alone. Idra must trust the untrustable if she has any hope of escape. And as a prisoner on a pirate ship—a place where redemption is a figment of the imagination—an ocean separates her from all she loves.

But even a king among pirates might underestimate the captivating power of Idra’s gentle spirit, what depravity compassion can transform, and the depth of one knight’s unrelenting love.

Book Two of Chronicles of the Twelve Realms is a standalone fantasy adventure tale but is best enjoyed in order after The Beauty Thief by Rachael Ritchey.
