A pirate fleet conquering the seas.
A princess disobeying the king's direct orders.
A villain who's fallen for a woman he can never marry.
And a commoner protecting the princess at all costs.
Princess Zoya and several bachelors competing for her hand in marriage are captured by pirates. Her enemies will brutally use her gryphons to conquer and destroy if she doesn't rescue them. Unfortunately, one suitor is a mole working against her every action.
Zoya's on a mission to uncover the mole's identity-even as she pursues her stolen gryphons across the globe. But there are worse things to be had. Zoya doesn't know which foreign nation is telling the truth. Some are playing games and making backhanded alliances. The clock is ticking. There's only so much time until the pirates conquer the seas and steal her family's opal mines. ...
Warning: Side effects to reading this story might include falling in love with handsome book characters, and imagining yourself riding on gryphons, ignoring the outside world for a day, or two, and feeling heroic as you fight off pirates. Read at your own risk!
