If you ask first mate Casset, there's no better place in the world to live but on the Flying Phoenix. Sure, Captain Swift can be demanding, and the work on board never ends, but a pirate's life is air and sea and freedom, and Casset can imagine no other.Casset's rather simple existence is interrupted by conflict between pirates and the islanders at the Phoenix's port of call, though he isn't aware of it at the time. Returning from a supply run with one of the strangest passengers he's ever met, he finds Katrina and the fleet missing. Worse, no one can tell him why. On the run from inexplicably aggressive town guards, Casset has got to figure out what went wrong and his role in putting it right again. Meanwhile, Katrina Swift is fighting to retain her throne as the pirate queen, and she's relying on the crew of the Flying Phoenix to stand with her as she defines what it means to be a pirate in the Pirate Islands: the good, the bad, and the murderous.Things are never going to be like they were before, but it doesn't mean that it isn't worth fighting for the good life of a pirate. Ever in a Pirate's Eye is a part of the greater Verida universe, and is recommended in sequence between Velvet on a Black Moon, book 4 of the Murderers, Thieves, and Velvet series, and Forging of the Phoenix Fleet, book 2 of the Ever in a Pirate's Eye series.
