missingvolume | #71 The House of the Four Winds by Mercedes Lackey, James Mallory

A new series that with the series title being One Dozen Daughters" proves to be a long series but if the rest of the books are as fun as the first one then it should be a nice stack of reading fun. Clarice is the eldest princess of this very tiny kingdom that has had a not so normal upbringing. Knowing she will never inherit And with lots of sisters to all marry off they are each encouraged to learn skills that are not in the normal royal heiress dept. Wanting to a sword mistress, Clarice takes to traveling disguised as a young man to see the world and build a reputation. Booking passage on a ship to sail to newly discovered lands. Things don't go as planned as there is a mutiny on the ship and sailing into a magic hidden pirate island. This book had a bit of a feeling of her Five Hundred Kingdom books in the love dept but there are no fairy godmothers to help rescue our heroine. I'll be looking for the next book in the series.
