Synopsis

A war-scarred mage. A sentient ship. A secret that could drown empires.

When Ensign Bluemage Honor Renn is rescued from the wreckage of her first naval post, she expects death or disgrace. Instead, she wakes aboard the Touchstone, a mythic vessel whispered of in dockside ballads and royal war rooms alike. With a crew of misfits. A mysterious, elven captain. And a mission tied to the Dreadwall, the crumbling barrier that has kept the Overland and Nethersea from open war for a hundred years.

But the tragedy that sank her last ship didn’t just take lives―it left something behind.

Now Renn carries a secret everyone wants. A magik that’s chimeric, arcane...and slowly killing her. But the captain’s mission may be her only chance to survive, even if he still doesn’t trust her.

Caught between privateers, princes, and spies, Renn knows each choice could sink her future―or set the sea on fire.

Ship of Spells is perfect for readers who crave the raw grit of Arya Stark, the world-building of Samantha Shannon, and the slow-burn tension of enemies who should never trust or want each other.

3.25 ⭐️’s feedback to follow I was pulled in immediately by the action on page one. Renn is a compelling lead, she feels like a cog in a war machine, caught in the gears of something far bigger than herself. The worldbuilding hooked me right away: magic with practical, naval applications, used for se......more

If you know me, you know I’m a sucker for a story with pirates and Ship of Spells delivered exactly what I was hoping for. It’s got that adventurous, high-seas vibe mixed with magic, found family, and a touch of slow-burn tension that kept me hooked from the start. Honor Renn is a fierce and flawed h......more
