#Twinsieoftheday – Dread Pirate Arcanist (Frith Chronicles #2) by Shami Stovall

Leave a comment

Pirates. Griffins. A lost treasure worth killing for.

While protecting the newborn griffins on the Isle of Landin, Volke Savan and his adopted sister, Illia, run afoul of the Dread Pirate Calisto, the same cutthroat who carved out Illia’s right eye. As a master manticore arcanist, Calisto’s strength and brutality are unrivaled, so when Illia suggests they bring him to justice, Volke wonders if they’ll have what it takes to fight the corsairs on the high seas.

A fast-paced fantasy with magical creatures for those who enjoy the Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera series) by Jim Butcher, Unsouled (Cradle Series) by Will Wight, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan.

Praise for the Frith Chronicles!

“Perfect for those who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the Homas Wildus series, and the Harry Potter series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for.”

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This is such a good sequel! I recommend reading book one as this one picks up shortly after the first and
it doesn’t really go over anything from the previous book. This book has it all. Pirates, magic, magical
creatures, secrets and revenge.
Volke and the other apprentice arcanists are sent with their master to protect Griffins during a bonding
ceremony. Arcanists are people who have bonded with a magical creature, similar to having a familiar as
a witch or wizard in other books but a bit more complicated. While on their mission the island they are
on is infiltrated by pirates. Their leader is the one who took Volke’s sister’s eye and this sends her on a
personal mission of revenge. Nothing goes as planned and it’s a race to see if they can beat the pirates
to what they really want.
The world building is excellent and layered on to what was started in book one. You really start to get a
feel for the global interaction of people and cultures in Volke’s world. Character growth is also really
good not only for the main character and his sister but for the other’s in their apprentice group. I would
recommend this for teens. There is no adult content but some violence as these pirates are not messing
around.

Shami Stovall is a multi-award-winning author of fantasy and science fiction. Before that, she taught history and criminal law at the college level and loved every second. When she’s not reading fascinating articles and books about ancient China or the Byzantine Empire, Stovall can be found playing way too many video games, especially RPGs and tactics simulators. She loves John, reading, and writing about herself in the third person.
