About this listen
A stormsinger and pirate hunter join forces against a deathless pirate lord in this swashbuckling Jacobean adventure on the high-seas—launching the Winter Sea series, full of magic, betrayal, redemption and fearsome women, for fans of Adrienne Young, R. J. Barker and Naomi Novik
Mary Firth is a Stormsinger: a woman whose voice can still hurricanes and shatter armadas. Faced with servitude to a deathless pirate lord, Mary offers her skills to his arch-rival in exchange for protection—and, more importantly, his help in sending the pirate to a watery grave.
But Mary's dreams are dark and full of ghistings, spectral creatures who inhabit the ancient forests of her homeland and the figureheads of ships. Her new ally has his own vendetta, complete with revenge and a lost fleet, locked in the eternal ice of the far north, and disgraced pirate hunter Samuel Rosser is close on their trail. Samuel will stop at nothing to restore his good name and claim the only thing that stands between himself and madness: a talisman stolen by Mary herself. Finally, driven into the eternal ice at the limits of their world, Mary and Samuel must choose their loyalties and battle forces older and more powerful than the pirates who would make them slaves.
Come sail the winter sea, for action-packed, high-stakes adventures, rich characterization and epic plots full of intrigue and betrayal.

Pirates and magic
This book Dark Water Daughter, is the first in the series The Winter Sea. Here we meet Mary, Charles, Samuel and Ben. How can the lives of a stormsinger, a highwayman, a pirate chaser and a naval officer intertwine?
HM Long introduces us to political intrigue and manipulating monarchs and a magic system that can main, that can kill, that can track and trace, magic that can do anything.
The book was narrated by the indomitable duo of Moira Quirk and Samuel Roukin and was told from 2 pov's, Mary's and Sam's. I loved Mary and Samuel and liked finding out their back story: Charles was a bit flighty and non too honest for my liking: Ben, humm, Ben I didn't like, but that's how he's been written. He does get better towards the end of the book, but I'm reserving judgement.
I was sorry when the story came to an end and have purchased Black Tide Son to carry on the story. If you like swashbuckling pirates, navy and sea fights, magic and a great supporting cast, this book is for you. Give it a try.
