Product Description
Product Description
Across a mysterious rift in the space-time continuum exists a world called Naruihm. In this world is a realm called Morevi, a landlocked kingdom ruled by Askana Moldarin, crowned "First Queen" following a swift and bloody rise to the Throne of a Thousand Suns. Yet hidden traitors are already at work to destroy everything that she has won. Enter Rafe Rafton, privateer captain of the Defiant. Arrogant. Overconfident. Dangerous and cunning enough to pillage the Queen's own ships and survive. As a man, he is the embodiment of everything she has fought against, and the perfect instrument in a last desperate bid to save her kingdom. With the sum agreed upon, Rafe and Askana embark on an epic adventure spanning the kingdoms of Naruihm and King Henry VIII's England. Two souls, drawn together in the battle for a kingdom.

Yar! Pirates! Yar!
July 14 2005
Format:Paperback
A ripping good yarn. One of those books that can't be put down.
Rafe (that's Captain Rafe mind you!) comes across as an excellent rake and privateer, with a crew of lads that would make other pirates envious. A fellow who always speaks his mind and with a trick up his sleeve, just in case things go bad, and they usually do.
Rafe (that's Captain Rafe mind you!) comes across as an excellent rake and privateer, with a crew of lads that would make other pirates envious. A fellow who always speaks his mind and with a trick up his sleeve, just in case things go bad, and they usually do.
Askana (best be paying respect now!) has all the makings of being a good pirate, save that she is a queen. Intelligent, determined with just enough arrogance of royalty she is a full blown character in her own right and the verbal and physical fencing between her and Rafe are marvelously woven together.
One of the things that I really like about this books is that it just keeps you wanting to read more. The plots and counter plots are fantastic.
And one of the things that is really remarkable is that I can't tell where Tee's writing ends and where Lisa's begins, and vice versa. It is well blended with the characters and story becoming stronger because of it.
This book is definitely going on my collection of books that I read over and over.
Hopefully Tee and Lisa write some more books together!

Unleash Your Inner Pirate!
July 5 2004
Format:Paperback
What fun to read a book that doesn't take itself seriously! Entering into the world of Morevi is like jumping onto a pirate ship out of a 1940's movie. All the heroes are boldly heroic, the villains are black as pitch, and the action is daring and non-stop.
At first, the sheer impracticality of the plans the characters concocted took me aback...until I recognized the spirit of fun that pervades the story and realized it was never meant to be realistic. It is, instead, the kind of grand adventure we all enjoyed as children but seldom see any more. After that, I found it to be great fun!
The writing is a bit uneven in the early chapters. The authors soon find their stride, however, and the story takes over. The book has it all: action, intrigue, history, and, towards the end, a heartrending romance.
All in all, a book you can really kick back and enjoy!

Great book, great guy.
Just recently met the author at a convention in Baltimore. Wonderfully eccentric and a very talented author, his personality really shows in his writing. Read more

In a word, WOW!
Let me tell you, I love pirates. And mythology, and the Asian mythology is one that is not used nearly as often or as well as I would like to see. Read more

Move over Errol Flynn
Morevi has everything great fantasy should have - great characters, a well developed world, and lots and lots of action.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Calling All Fantasy Lovers
Morevi is a terrific book for anyone who loves fantasy! It is a must read. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hate some of the characters, but you won't be able to put it down. Read more
