Magic is strictly controlled by the Mysterium, but despite severe penalties, not all magic users have registered.Ross Tremayne, widowed, cross-dressing privateer captain and unregistered witch, likes her life on the high seas, accompanied by a boatload of swashbuckling pirates and the possessive ghost of her late husband, Will. When she pays a bitter deathbed visit to her long-estranged mother she inherits a half brother she didn't know about and a task she doesn't want: open the magical winterwood box and right an ancient wrongif she can.Enter Corwen. He's handsome, sexy, clever, and capable, and Ross doesn't really like him; neither does Will's ghost. Can he be trusted? Whose side is he on?Unable to chart a course to her future until she's unraveled the mysteries of the past, she has to evade a ruthless government agent who fights magic with darker magic, torture, and murder; and brave the hitherto hidden Fae. Only then can she hope to open the magical winterwood box and right her ancestor's wrongdoing. Unfortunately, success may prove fatal to both Ross and her new brother, and desastrous for the country. By righting a wrong, is Ross going to unleash a terrible evil? Is her enemy the real hero and Ross the villain?From the Paperback edition.

Fae, shapeshifters, pirates, magic, a jealous ghost, and Rowankind. Decent fantasy novel. First of a trilogy. Things were resolved nicely though the future was left open, and there was no cliffhanger.

For a book with so many elements I love - pirates, witches, magic, the Fae - sadly it didn't completely live up to my expectations. The main character is disappointingly flat, and Bedford's writing style is missing something I can't exactly identify...
Overall I'm glad I read it but I wish I had liked it better!
(Happily this tea is everything I hoped for 😍)

Found a seasonal title in my collection!

alonnawilliams What's it about? ☺️ 7y
CrowCAH @alonnawilliams I only know from the back cover, haven't read it yet, but it's about a witch captain and her task and journey opening the Winterwood box, which contains something. Looks like there could be a love interest too. 7y

I raided my pirate and nautical shelf and judged all these books by their cover (and back cover), that's how they came home with me! Now, all I have to do is read them! 😊

Definitely a good and exciting read for anyone who enjoys a good fantasy novel. It's got magic, fae and a pretty cool female protagonist. Definitely a pick for me.

I'm always entertained to see the ways authors describe well endowed men and erections without using the actual words. One great example here. Though I'm not far into it Winterwood has been pretty good and rather entertaining. Looking forward to the rest!

I really liked it. A cross dressing lady pirate who can do magic? Sold.

kgriffith Also sold! 8y

Time to try this beauty again. I was really liking it, but got distracted with other things. #readathon

Maybe this will be the book to break my "slump?"

kaytaylorrea Interested to hear your thoughts on this one. I bailed out of it during a reading slump and now I'm wondering if I should pick it up again. 8y
KarenaFagan @kaytaylorrea it, on first glance, rings all my bells for book interests. So far I'm into it. I'll keep you updated. 8y
