Narrative In Favor Of Books Ill Wind and Dead Reckoning (Valkyrie #1 & #2)

Books 1 and 2 of the Valkyrie Series - Historical adventure of piracy, love and revenge in the Caribbean in the seventeenth century.

ILL WIND:
Gabriella Berryngton is an unhappy and oppressed fourteen-year-old girl living in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1683. She dreams of escaping her bitter, ambitious stepfather and sailing off into the unknown.

Her dreams come true when her stepfather sells her into marriage.

Aboard Freyja, she is hopeful that her new life in the Dutch West Indies will be an improvement – a hope that dies when she is given a slave, Klara, and a whip. She discovers that her soon-to-be father-in-law is a ruthless slave trader in league with pirates, and her fiancé is cold, unfriendly and disinterested in Gabriella. She is little more than a vessel to provide the next generation of van Eckens.

Largely ignored and desperately unhappy, she and Klara develop a friendship which makes life bearable – at first. Once married, Gabriella’s life takes a turn for the worse and she descends into a world of horror and abuse until tensions finally explode. Life will never be the same and she has no choice but to take fate into her own hands.

DEAD RECKONING:
Leo is born in Spanish Panama in 1659. When he is twelve years old he witnesses the violent rape and murder of his mother by three of the Caribbean’s most feared pirates: Tarr, Blake and Hornigold, and swears revenge at all costs.

Gabriella is trapped in an abusive marriage to a ruthless Dutch slave trader, who is in business with the same English cut-throats. She risks all to escape with her life.

Leo and Gabriella meet aboard one of the most horrific ships in the Caribbean – a slaver – and join forces against their common enemy. They face a number of challenges as they battle not only the dangers of a life at sea, including storm, drowning, and being cast adrift in a crippled ship, but also repeated attacks by Blake and Hornigold.

But their biggest threat proves to be each other. Can they reconcile their hearts in time for the fiercest battle in their quest of revenge, and survive the gallows?

Dead Reckoning was long-listed in the 2011 Mslexia Novel Competition.

Piece Regarding Books Ill Wind and Dead Reckoning (Valkyrie #1 & #2)

Nonsense. Should be classified pre-teen. Reads like the outline of a novel, bones but no flesh. And those bones are only loosely connected. This author has no knowledge of the sea, ships, pirates or the historical period. Waste of time. Only published because the author owns the publishing house.

Karen Perkins is the author of the Yorkshire Ghost Stories, the Pendle Witch Short Stories and the Valkyrie Series of historical nautical fiction. All of her fiction has appeared at the top of bestseller lists on both sides of the Atlantic, including the top 21 in the UK Kindle Store in 2018.Her first Yorkshire Ghost Story THE HAUNTING OF THORES-CROSS won the Silver Medal for European Fiction inLoved the book and story and especially the characters...I will want to read the next one.



Not my favorite I thought it was too violent for my reading. I liked part of the story line but I wouldn't read another one in a series.

It was ok, but too much sailor talk or description for someone who has only been passenger a few times. I will not read any more in the series.

Do. Not. Read. Great idea, very poor material.

Wonderful! What A Delight!The only downsides were the overbearing sailing jargon, the excessively feminist Gabriella, and maybe the story lengths.Other than that, the language flowed, the plot and twists were well done, and the characters were formulated and believable.As a warning, the first book Ill Wind is crazy interesting, but very sad and depressing at the same time. This only causes you to root for the protagonist and some minor characters though.If you can put up with the downsides
