“Anyone who has ever dreamed of the colorful adventure and swashbuckling intrigue of a pirate’s life at sea will find lots to like here. Laced with magic and misdirection, Misty Massey’s fast paced and intriguing tale kept me guessing and guessing again as layers of mystery unfolded right to the end.” —Mark Ferrari, author of The Book of Joby 

“Imagine ‘Captain Blood’ starring a young woman with a hidden talent for sorcery, and you’ve got a hint of what you’ll find in Mad Kestrel, a lively tale of reckless pirates, ruthless bounty hunters, reluctant mages, and romantic adversaries. Fun, fast-paced, and full of action, Misty Massey’s first novel takes a few fine old adventure story traditions and mixes them with magic.” —Sharon Shin, author of The Thirteenth House
