Mercedes Lackey is the New York Times bestselling author of the Valdemar series and romantic fantasies like Beauty and the Werewolf and The Fairy Godmother. James Mallory and Lackey have collaborated on six novels. Now these New York Times and USA Today bestselling collaborators bring romance to the fore with The House of the Four Winds.
The rulers of tiny, impoverished Swansgaard have twelve daughters and one son. While the prince's future is assured, his twelve sisters must find their own fortunes.
Disguising herself as Clarence, a sailor, Princess Clarice intends to work her way to the New World. When the crew rebels, Clarice/Clarence, an expert with rapier and dagger, sides with the handsome navigator, Dominick, and kills the cruel captain.
Dominick leads the now-outlawed crew in search of treasure in the secret pirate haven known as The House of Four Winds. They encounter the sorceress Shamal, who claims Dominick for her own—but Clarice has fallen hard for Dominick and won't give him up without a fight.
Full of swashbuckling adventure, buoyant magic, and irrepressible charm, The House of the Four Winds is a lighthearted fantasy romp by a pair of bestselling writers.

The duke and duchess of Swansgaard have been blessed with 12 daughters and one son. To avoid draining the royal coffers by paying a dozen dowries, the princesses elect to seek their own fortunes. On her 18th birthday, Princess Clarice, the eldest, disguises herself as a young lad named Clarence and sets off in search of adventure. Her goal is to build her reputation as a swordsman. She books passage on a ship only to find more adventure than she bargained for when the crew mutinies against the evil captain. Along the way, Clarice falls for Dominick, the ship's navigator-turned-captain, as he leads the crew on a quest for treasure in the pirate haven known as the House of the Four Winds. But how will she tell Dominick that she is really Clarice and not Clarence? VERDICT For the seventh time, Lackey and Mallory ("Obsidian Mountain Trilogy"; "Enduring Flame" series) have paired up for another potential success. Mixing a fairy-tale feel with a few elements of fantasy, this series launch will delight fans of light romances and of Lackey's "Tale of the Five Hundred Kingdoms" books.--Tracey Thompson, Midwest City Lib., OK
