The Sapphire Crown

1765–1776. The world wants the Blackhawks dead. They answer with fire. From the volcanic stronghold they carved out of an empire's nightmares, Gabriel and Seraphina Hawke rule the Sapphire Nation: forty-two black ships, two thousand guns, and a people who chose freedom over every crown on earth. Now Britain, France, and Spain have forged a final alliance to burn the Sapphire islands to ash. They send eighty-three ships of the line. The Hawkes send everything they have (including a very pregnant Admiral who refuses to stay ashore). This is the blazing, unapologetically spicy climax of the trilogy that began with a highwayman and a pistol on a rain-lashed Cornish moor: sieges fought inside active volcanoes, duels in Pacific typhoons, births on blood-warm gun-decks, and a love that laughs at death, empires, and every chain ever forged. When the smoke clears, a new flag rises beside the sapphire—one with thirteen stars and thirteen stripes—and the most dangerous fleet in history turns north to help thirteen rebel colonies finish what the Hawkes started twenty-five years ago. Book 3 of the Blackhawk Saga For readers who like their romance scorching, their action cinematic, and their pirates gloriously, triumphantly lawless.
