My Lady Jane fixed Jane Grey’s tragic past—and now My Salty Mary will do the same for the infamous pirate Mary Read!

Perfect for fans of The Princess Bride and A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, New York Times bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows are back with a fantastical, romantical, and piratical historical fantasy remix that marries the story of The Little Mermaid with the life and times of infamous lady pirate Mary Read.

Dont call this mermaid little—call her captain, unless you want to walk the plank.

Mary is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town, except he doesnt love her back. Which is inconvenient. Since shes a mermaid, being brokenhearted means shell—poof!—turn into sea-foam.

But instead, Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To survive, she joins them. But Mary isnt willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and shes ready to make a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen. She wont let anyone stop her—not Blackbeards cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea whos having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she cant be a pirate just because shes a girl.

She may not be the best man for the job, but shell definitely prove that shes worth her salt.
