Prudence and Cain are back... but this time, their challenges are a little different...
Now the parents of three children, rather than fighting for their lives on the high seas, Pru and Cain are trying to navigate the perils of parenting - especially their oldest, William, who is in that awkward place between man and boy, and wanting to spend more time with his friends than with his parents and siblings.
When the power struggle gets too much, William runs away to prove himself, but finds himself trapped at sea with strangers and an unexpected stowaway!
In true Pru and Cain style, they will stop at nothing to protect the ones they love, so they set out on a dangerous journey of their own to put their family back together again.
What happens on the way is a true test of love and loyalty, and I challenge anyone not to be moved by the events in The Wicked Redemption. A spectacular read.
