The Terror of the Southlands - Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates Caroline Carlson

Jacket Description/Back:"Tell me, Pirate Westfield: When was the last time you drew your sword against an enemy? Or stole a stash of loot from a fellow buccaneer? When was the last time you sailed off on a thrilling High Seas adventure?"Hilary Westfield is a pirate. In fact, she's the Terror of the Southlands! She's daring, brave, fearless, and . . . in a rut. Maybe she hasn't found any treasure lately. And maybe she isn't fighting off as many scallywags as she'd like. But does that mean she deserves to be kicked out of the ranks of the Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates?There is only one thing to do find a daring mission worthy of her fearless reputation. With the help of her loyal crew (including a magical gargoyle), Hilary sets sail on a swashbuckling expedition that may or may not involve a kidnapped Enchantress, bumbling inspectors, a mysterious group called the Mutineers, and the most terrifying thing of all a High Society ball!Caroline Carlson brings just as much rollicking fun, laughter, and action to this second book of the Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates series as she did with the first, Magic Marks the Spot."
