A Gothic Treasure Planet and Pirates of the Caribbean meets The Witcher in this Nautical Gothic tale set in 1806 about a cursed pirate, a wrathful sea witch, and the rise of the airship.
After scorning the wrong type of woman, Captain Ryland Coldwell-pirate, lover, and overall adventurer-finds himself trapped in the West Indies with an unfortunate case of immortality. With only his anger to keep him company, Ryland waits for the day he can seek his revenge on his past lover Gwenifer, the sea witch who cursed him. Fortunately, the world has begun to evolve, and with the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte has come the rise of the airship, the only type of vessel that offers Ryland any chance of escape. None of these ships have yet to reach the West Indies... until one night, one does.
Emmeline Whittock is the only woman on board the airship Nyx, and the only one wearing a jacket stained with her brother's blood. After fleeing from her murderous fiancé and the threats of Napoleon's army, the Nyx is blown off course and forced to land in the West Indies. When the crew is attacked by pirates, one man comes to their aid-Ryland, whose presence stirs something in Emmeline she cannot explain. Agreeing to take him aboard, Emmeline and the crew resume their journey, not realizing that in every rippling wave and growing storm is the wrath of a sea witch, hunting for the man who was never meant to leave the islands.
Against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and crossing the seas from the Caribbean to New Orleans to Venice, Ryland and Emmeline will both come to learn that betrayals can run deep but love can run deeper, lasting beyond a lifetime. In A Cursed Age, fates will realign, hearts will be broken, and the future of the world will rest in the hands of a very vexed pirate and a misfit crew with everything to lose.
All's fair in love and war... and revenge.
