Book Description
The Willi-Waw lay in the passage between the shore-reef and the outer-reef. From the latter came the low murmur of a lazy surf, but the sheltered stretch of water, not more than a hundred yards across to the white beach of pounded coral sand, was of glass-like smoothness. Narrow as was the passage, and anchored as she was in the shoalest place that gave room to swing, the Willi-Waw's chain rode up-and-down a clean hundred feet. Its course could be traced over the bottom of living coral. Like some monstrous snake, the rusty chain's slack wandered over the ocean floor, crossing and recrossing itself several times and fetching up finally at the idle anchor. Big rock-cod, dun and mottled, played warily in and out of the coral. Other fish, grotesque of form and colour, were brazenly indifferent, even when a big fish-shark drifted sluggishly along and sent the rock-cod scuttling for their favourite crevices.

Book Description
Prepare for harrowing waters... When Sol Vesper—a renegade sailor with a bad attitude and a penchant for fighting—boards her estranged uncle’s pirate ship, she struggles for respect in a world where women are considered a curse on the seas. But the allure of a fabled treasure guarded by the monstrous gatekeeper of the underworld has this discordant crew pulling anchor. As the wrath of the gods is invoked, Sol unearths lies and long-hidden secrets about her past that could change everything. While treading these predatory waters, her choices and her life will become intertwined with the salty scoundrels aboard. Will Sol be able to rely on the very men she has been contending with or will the price of their alliance come at a far greater cost than the gold they seek?

In ancient Egypt during the magnificent eighteenth dynasty the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his queen, the strong and beautiful Nefertiti, are engaged in a dramatic battle against the wealthy, corrupt and dangerously powerful priests of Amun. Haunting and full of surprises, The Son of the Sun, gives a fascinating glimpse into an ancient civilisation.
