Today is my day on the Jiddy Vardy blog tour. I do see myself reading this book and giving a review shortly (more like 2024). Since book 3 is on its way out on December 2nd, what better way to celebrate the release of the book than with a promo for book 1? If this seems up your alley remember to buy it with the links below!

On tumultuous waters, a girl is born as pirates board the ship . . .

Jiddy Vardy is a survivor.

Rescued at birth, she grows up in Robin Hood’s Bay, a community that harbors a dangerous secret that could get you killed.

Always the outsider, with her dark skin and hair, at sixteen Jiddy is clever, brave, and headstrong, soon risking her life and freedom to play her part in the Bay’s clandestine activities.

Then, just as romance blossoms and Jiddy finally feels like she belongs, figures from the past threaten to tear her world apart, and she has to decide where her loyalties truly lie.

A thrilling tale of one girl’s search for identity and love, set against a backdrop of wild seas, smuggling, and violence.
