Dread Captain Valerie Vennosa: the most feared pirate of sea and sky. Fellow pirates admire and fear her prowess with a blade and her cunning mind, while the Union from whom she steals, wants only to see her dead. All know to run when they see her sails. The beautiful, dangerous, deadly and ruthless young woman has a secret however. She's never actually killed anyone. Having inherited her father's sky ship, the Blood Falcon, and her loyal crew at a very young age, Valerie built a career of infamy in a dangerous world full of flying ships, dragons, and pirates. Valerie's days of pretending and mercy may be at an end the day she discovers evidence suggesting her mother's killer still lives and there may have been more to her death than a simple raid on Valerie's childhood home. Burning with revenge, the young pirate captain must venture into the heart of the very Union that would see her dead in search of answers, answers that may cost more than just the lives of Valerie and her crew.
