Deal Ends: 2025-12-20

Pirates of the Caribbean meets The Six of Crows, with a dash of Arcane season 1, and lashings of banter. Meet Rory: dreadlocked pickpocket, professional trouble-magnet, and aspiring sword-fighter. She has zero money, no connections, and absolutely no business dreaming of adventure — so she does the only logical thing: blackmails an assassin into training her. Unfortunately for Rory, Longinus isn’t your average deadly killer. He’s dramatic, vain, and hiding a terribly shameful secret: he's afraid of blood. As if that wasn't bad enough, the mismatched pair are thrown into a dangerous conspiracy that could tear their city apart. Now Rory must learn to fight, figure out how to outwit their enemies before they destroy the city, and somehow keep Longinus from getting them both killed. And somewhere along the way their friendship becomes as unbreakable as it is unlikely. A complete 9-book series. Join Rory, Longinus, and their unforgettable crew as they bicker, blunder, and battle their way through the dazzling and dangerous tropical steampunk city of Damsport. Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and Lindsay Buroker. Read more
