Stealing the Wind, by Shira Anthony

Mermen of Ea: Book One

Taren Laxley has never known anything but life as a slave. When a lusty pirate kidnaps him and holds him prisoner on his ship, Taren embraces the chance to realize his dream of a seagoing life. Not only does the pirate captain offer him freedom in exchange for three years of labor and sexual servitude, but the pleasures Taren finds when he joins the captain and first mate in bed far surpass his greatest fantasies.

Then, during a storm, Taren dives overboard to save another sailor and is lost at sea. He’s rescued by Ian Dunaidh, the enigmatic and seemingly ageless captain of a rival ship, the Phantom, and Taren feels an overwhelming attraction to Ian that Ian appears to share. Soon Taren learns a secret that will change his life forever: Ian and his people are Ea, shape-shifting merfolk… and Taren is one of them too. Bound to each other by a fierce passion neither can explain or deny, Taren and Ian are soon embroiled in a war and forced to fight for a future—not only for themselves but for all their kind.

    As much as I’ve loved the Blue Notes series, fantasy is still my favorite genre. I’m happy you are now writing a fantasy series!

    Not saying Blue Notes wasn’t isn’t my thing, but this is way more my ‘thing’. It is not in my Nook on my list to read – be patient, I’m WAYYYYYY behind lately – darn kid – errr, never mind, I’ll take being a bit behind to keep her. 😛

    Best of luck, Shira! Here’s hoping this is an even bigger success than Blue Notes [Yeah I know, that’s a bit of pressure, but you can handle it, I’m confident. 😀 ]

    Congrats on the release, I look forward to this one! I’d love to enter the contest, I still don’t own the last of the Blue Notes series and a free copy would be most excellent!!!

    I am trying to think if I’ve ever read any mer-people books at all, in any genre. No, i don’t think that I have, but this sounds really great, Shira. There’s gotta be a first time for everything! 😉 Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!

      It’s definitely my first time to write mermen! And my first fantasy novel (and series). So lots of firsts! -Shira

    It’ll be good to read a full-length book about mermen; I don’t think I’ve seen one!

      There are a few, I think, although I haven’t read them. I hope you enjoy it! -Shira

    Stumbled on the cover while browsing Google images (no need to say what I was googling) and had to find the book. I read it quickly and I enjoyed all of it! Thanks for a good read 😀

      Thanks, Kyle! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. XD I’ve got you entered in the drawings! -Shira

    Good afternoon! I just saw your book on FB and I can’t wait to read it! I really enjoyed the Blue Note series. Thanks!

    Thought I would come over from FB and comment, although I probably can’t win anything because I am in the UK. Still just thought after enjoying Stealing The Wind so much, as they are such a change from all the furry shifters, it wouldn’t hurt to reiterate how much I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

      Clancy, if you win I’m sure we can find something electronic to substitute! Thanks for coming by and for the feedback – it really means a lot to hear it. You’d be surprised and how much writers appreciate hearing from readers. *grins* -Shira
