When Captain Nysa of the Mermaid's Purse is shipwrecked on a remote island with her first mate and lover, Gayle, their only concern is simple survival. Then they meet Barnabas, who wields The Bringer of Justice, a powerful weapon of the Gods. He asks them to accompanying him on his quest to return the Bringer to its rightful place, and prevent Yna, Goddess of the Seas, from escaping her celestial prison and ending the world.
But not everything is as it seems, and the journey to the Temple of Tia, Goddess of Justice, is fraught with peril. Nysa and Gayle will have to fight with everything they have just to make it out alive. How can they hope to save the world too? Will they survive a fight with the Gods, or will they perish like so many have before?
Have you ever wondered what an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess would look like if there weren't any pesky television executives around to throttle all the queer themes?
This book is it.
It's got bad ass lady sailors, a shipwreck, fun monsters, characters who are more than what they seem and Ancient Greek-style Gods and Goddesses being maddeningly unhelpful in the way only they can. Also, the ladies kiss.
