Bøger af Kyra Gregory

There's nothing she won't do to save the man she loves-even if failure means hanging from the gallows beside him. Life at sea comes with a number of risks, but, as far as Kara is concerned, they're risks far more favourable than the horrors she escaped from on land a year ago.When out-sailing an Evradian ship proves to be impossible, the crew of the Plunderer find themselves on the losing-side of a bloody battle. Slaughtering and sinking them isn't enough for the Evradians-an example needs to be made on land if they hope to put an end to the pirate threat. As the only one to have successfully evaded capture, Kara is all that's left to keep the man she loves, as well as the crew she calls her brothers, from hanging from the gallows in three days.Kara finds herself back on land, all alone, faced with everything she despised and an impossible mission to take the men out of an impenetrable fort. But, a year at sea changed plenty. No longer the helpless young girl the Evradians knew her to be, their failure to account for her could very well be their undoing-and the key to their survival.

Desperate times call for desperate allies.It's been three years since Kara left Evrad for a life in piracy and, what was once a life of freedom, has become complicated by the same politics that turned her to the sea in the first place.Upon learning of the Evradian King's demise, Kieren decides to return to land in a bid to sell their cargo for higher profits. Having almost lost Jared the last time they returned, Kara begs them to reconsider taking such an unnecessary risk, only for Jared to go ahead and sell the decision to the rest of the crew. Caught in the middle of a war for territory, an abrupt evacuation proves to be as catastrophic as Kara first imagined. Faced with some impossible choices, Kieren and Jared's decisions cause chaos amongst the crew, leaving them suffering losses they may never be able to recover from. As tensions grow between her and the man she loves, as well as with the crew divided, Kara can't help but realise that the rest of her life has been cast in doubt-sinking before her very eyes. Desperate times call for desperate allies, and when an enemy makes the offer of an alliance, Kara pushes for them to take it with the hope that it isn't too late.

Will the next crime he commits be the one that saves someone he loves? Jared Bricken has been a pirate for most of his life, moving from Deckhand to Quartermaster to Captain by the age of twenty-six. To eliminate the growing threat in their waters, the Evradian kingdom promises pardons to all those who come forward and renounce piracy. Jared can't forget his reasons for leaving civilisation behind, but, when his crew vote in favour of taking the pardons, he's forced to conform to the very world he despised.Kara Sethers is the young wife of an Evradian admiral. Mistreated and always within her husband's sight, Jared admires her from a distance, captivated by her strength, pained by the humiliation she endures and enraged by societies unwillingness to help her because of who her husband is.Jared has a choice; take her away and return to a life at sea, proving to the Evradians that he truly is nothing more than the villain that pirates are portrayed as, or live a reformed life on land, his heart forever aching for the woman he cannot have.

The Queen is dead. Long live the King. As his mother's execution is announced, the swing of the sword that would make Riffin King is inevitable. Torn between his need for vengeance and his desire to heed his mother's lesson of biding his time, Riffin finds there seems to be no right answer to whatever he does-someone is always left disappointed or angered.The Alliance Council, created by the nobles upon his mother's death, want nothing more than to keep him in line. When faced with their demands to solidify the Alliance between him and the kingdom that killed his mother, Riffin finds the power left to him dwindling amidst the political warfare. With nothing but the lessons he's been taught, and his most loyal at his side, Riffin must now navigate the fine line of what it means to rule-and what it takes to keep his crown.

Choosing love over duty comes with a steep price-even for a future King.Raised to understand that title comes with duty, Riffin knows he can get anything he wants as Heir to his mother's throne-so long as it benefits the kingdoms he's to rule that is. With marriage offers from nobles coming in from across the land, Riffin makes an unpopular choice before it's too late; to marry for love.Malia is the daughter of pirates and, as allies to the Queen, she's spent her enter life earning the ire of the nobles who deem her and her family unfit companions to their rulers. Told she has no place within civilised society, she's well-aware that the love she shares with a future King is looked down upon, and that plenty are eager to watch her fall.As news of their impending marriage spreads, so does the discontent of nobles and allies. When a rebellion's scheme puts his new wife in danger, Riffin finds that love and duty are, once again, in conflict with one another.

The war for peace is about to begin.Challenged by his mother's return, Riffin faces a struggle to strike a balance between his heart and his head. Well aware of the traitors in his midst and all of those that tried to undermine his rule, putting that insult aside in favour of helping his enemy doesn't sit well with him. But his mother, having returned to the throne, is right. If they fail to prevent Ludorum's rebels from unseating their King, it won't be just Riffin's crown that will be threatened next, but his family as well.
