The House of the Four Winds
From the New York Times bestselling coauthors, a charming romantic fantasy
Mercedes Lackey is the New York Times bestselling author of the Valdemar series and romantic fantasies like Beauty and the Werewolf and The Fairy Godmother. Now these New York Times and USA Today bestselling collaborators bring romance to the fore with The House of Four Winds.
The rulers of tiny, impoverished Swansgaard have twelve daughters and one
son. While the prince’s future is assured, his twelve sisters must find
their own fortunes.
Disguising herself as Clarence, a
sailor, Princess Clarice intends to work her way to the New World. When
the crew rebels, Clarice/Clarence, an expert wth rapier and dagger,
sides with the handsome navigator, Dominick, and kills the cruel
captain.
Dominick leads the now-outlawed crew in search of
treasure in the secret pirate haven known as The House of Four Winds.
They encounter the sorceress Shamal, who claims Dominick for her own — but Clarice has fallen hard for Dominick and won’t give him up without a
fight.
Full of swashbuckling adventure, buoyant magic, and irrepressible charm, The House of the Four Winds is a lighthearted fantasy romp by a pair of bestselling writers.
