About this ebook

The price for vengeance must always be paid… No matter what.

Caelum may have stopped his father, but in the process, he lost more than he’d ever planned.

The syren who had slowly been winning his heart over was gone, taken by the very woman she once owed her life to, and Caelum was now wanted for his father’s murder. In the chaos of the aftermath, Caelum must deal with his grief, and with the other syrens, who only seem determined to make his life more difficult as he searches for Brigid.

Brigid is in agony. As if watching her best friend die in front of her wasn’t enough, she’d been ripped beneath the waves and brought to pay penance to the goddess she’d once sworn fealty to. But the syren queen seems determined to never cease her torture, not until Brigid has paid for her sins in blood.

Resigning herself that she will never see the man she’d given up everything for, Brigid retreats into herself. The only way to endure the wrath of the syren queen is to shut down and silently hope that someone would come for her. But Brigid knows better than to hope. And her body is quickly giving out. 

When whispers of a mysterious witch with the ability to grant any wish reach Caelum, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get Brigid back, including giving up that which he holds most dear. And so, the syrens and the crew set off on the dangerous journey to the south to find anything that will lead them to Brigid. 

But nothing worth having ever comes easy, and neither Caelum or Brigid have ever backed down from a challenge. 

The Captain’s Revenge is the thrilling conclusion to the slow-burn new adult fantasy romance duology, pulling you beneath the waves and into a Celtic mythology inspired world of do-good pirates, cunning syrens, and action-packed adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

"Everything felt… blank without her. Cold. Like she had taken the sun with her and left us all in the frigid dark. I had to get her back. No matter what it took."⠀ ⠀ Jessica A. Taylor, The Captain's Revenge⠀ ⠀ The Captain's Revenge by Jessica Taylor comes out today and is an action packed, dark fantasy with a spooky seafaring aesthetic. ⠀ ⠀ I really enjoyed the banter of the pirates and the syrens as they searched for ways to find Brigid. Pirates Caelum and Duncan were hilarious when they butt heads with Kyla and the other syrens but I admired the quiet strength that permeated the group of women. Kyla's sentiment, “We’ll never be truly free, Caelum. It’s a pleasant notion , but the sea will always call to us, no matter where we are.”, summed up the motivation of the syrens well and I was so happy to see them working together to take down Cliodhna. ⠀ ⠀ Brigid's scenes were hard to read and definitely led to the Dark Fantasy element with intense episodes of torture.
