Synopsis

Mary Firth is a Stormsinger: a woman whose voice can still hurricanes and shatter
armadas. Faced with servitude to pirate lord Silvanus Lirr, Mary offers her skills to
his arch-rival in exchange for protection—and helping send Lirr to a watery grave.
But her new ally has a vendetta of his own, and Mary’s dreams are dark and full of
ghistings, spectral creatures who inhabit the ancient forests of her homeland and
the figureheads of ships.
Samuel Rosser is a disgraced naval officer serving aboard Hart, an infamous
privateer commissioned to bring Lirr to justice. He will stop at nothing to capture
Lirr, restore his good name, and reclaim the only thing that stands between
himself and madness: a talisman stolen by Mary.
Finally, driven into the eternal ice at the limits of their world, Mary and Samuel
must choose their loyalties and battle forces older and more powerful than the
pirates who would make them slaves.

Dark Water Daughter is everything I have ever wanted in a pirate fantasy book.

This was so mid 🥴 Instead of being enthralled by a rollicking pirate tale, I spent the first third of Dark Water Daughter bored. I waited to connect with ANY of the characters emotionally... And guess what? That wait never ends. The most egregious thing Long does as a writer is bank on two moments—wh......more
