Steel
by Carrie Vaughn
To be released March 15th 2011 by HarperTeen
When Jill finds a rusty sword tip on a Caribbean beach, she is instantly intrigued—and little expects it will transport her through time to the deck of a pirate ship. Will a dark enchantment, salty kisses, and a duel with an evil pirate captain leave her stranded in the eighteenth century forever?
Drawing on piratical lore and historical fact, Carrie Vaughn creates a vivid world of swaying masts and swelling seas, where blood magic overrules the laws of nature, romance is in the air, and death can come at the single slip of a sword.
Here's another cover I absolutely adore. I need this on my bookshelves. I'm also completely in the mood for some swashbucklingness and some kick ass chicks, so this may have to be a late birthday present to myself, when it comes out, as my birthday is also in March.
What's on your wishlist?
