The First Mate of Nemain's Revenge: Prequel Novella - 9798986449678

Joseph Earhart knew only the swing of his hammer and the heat of the forge, forced to take on his father's occupation after the death of his family. He made the best swords on the island of Samsara, but he hated it. Smithing was in his blood, but not his heart, yet he couldn't leave the forge behind. That is, until a pirate took off with his most prized possession. He would do anything to get it back, even join the Minister's Navy.

Angelica relished in her new prize, that smithing shop had a beautiful sword on display that she couldn't keep her hands off. Though, even a prize like that could not lessen the blow of her father's disappointment. Captain Pike wanted many things, her marriage to the first mate on Macha's Demise, and most recently, the island of Kheli. Her fate was sealing before her and she needed to escape it before it was too late.

The naval officers on the island might just be the answer she'd been waiting for.
