Oceanforged 1: The Wicked Ship: From the bestselling author of The Grandest Bookshop in the World

A stolen magical gauntlet.
A ruthless pirate captain.
And one girl destined to save a kingdom.

Thirteen-year-old Cori has spent her life fighting to survive aboard a brutal pirate ship in the dangerous seas of Aquinta — a realm haunted by monsters, magic, and the ruins of a forgotten age.

Then Cori discovers the Oceanforged Gauntlet.

Forged for the legendary Champions who once protected the islands, the ancient armour holds extraordinary power. Whoever wears it can wield lost magic strong enough to restore Aquinta… or destroy it forever.

Now Cori is hunted by her vicious pirate captain, who will stop at nothing to claim the gauntlet for himself.

To save her world, Cori must escape the pirates, survive deadly sea creatures, and begin an epic quest to uncover the remaining pieces of the legendary armour before darkness consumes the realm completely.

Packed with thrilling adventure, dangerous magic, sea monsters, pirates, and unforgettable heroes, this action-filled fantasy is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, How to Train Your Dragon, and Wings of Fire.
