The Silver Hand (Tides of Magic)

The swashbuckling sequel to The Price of Redemption filled to the brim with hauntings, naval battles, and sorcery—perfect for fans of Patrick O’Brian and Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series. Captain Rue Nath is sailing towards what he hopes isn’t his certain doom. As he guides the Redemption into port, the people cheer him and his crew as a hero. But a court martial awaits that could leave him ashore for years, or worse, strip him of his naval rank for good. But Magister Enid d’Tancreville will do anything in her power to keep that from happening. After escaping the Theocratic Revolution and discarding her dream of fighting against the ‘Rats in the army, she’s not too keen to give up her new position as Captain Nath’s right hand and sorcerer. As Enid tries to drum up support for her beloved captain, Rue must decide whether to take the hand his enemies have dealt him or prove them wrong once again. Even if that means commanding a ship whose captains have only ever met perilous ends.
