For the first time, the explosive beginning of the Siobhan Dunmoore saga is collected in one volume.

Commander Dunmoore has survived more battles with the ruthless Shrehari Empire than most of her peers—but survival has come at a cost. Branded reckless, saddled with a cursed ship, and surrounded by political enemies, she must rebuild her crew and her reputation while navigating the chaos of war and the darker rot within her own command.

From war-torn frontlines to pirate-infested space and a perilous voyage into the unknown, Dunmoore must battle corruption, betrayal, and her own past to keep her crew alive—and uncover secrets that could change the course of the war.

Duty. Honor. One last chance.

One mother. One daughter. One haunted town.

Niamh

Widow. Divorcee. Mother.

Retired ghost hunter.

Something has just unleashed dozens of 200-year-old ghosts on my hometown. And my seventeen-year-old daughter wants to be the one to solve the mystery. Isn’t that just great?

Little does she know that a ghost killed her dad. Which is why I really, really don’t want either of us to go near them ever again.

But, of course, she’s my daughter. Stubbornness runs in the family.

So does ghost hunting. If I don’t look into the ghosts haunting the town, I’ll never be able to live with myself if someone else gets hurt.

But how can I when I’m terrified they’ll hurt my family again?

Secrets come in all shapes and sizes

Jake has left it late, and the only summer job he can find is on the remote Scottish island of Elsay. Still, that sounds fine – the work isn’t too hard, the pay’s all right, and the scenery is great.

But he soon has second thoughts about staying. His boss, Fraser, is a bit of a rogue, while Fraser’s cute but snippy daughter, Alva, takes against him from the start. And the oddball characters in the local pub aren’t exactly welcoming.

Then Jake stumbles on an extraordinary secret that changes everything that’s known about the universe. A secret he can scarcely believe. A secret that Alva and the island recluse, Ruan Strang, have sworn to protect at all costs.

As the mystery deepens, the questions only mount – and none of the answers make any sense. Plus, Jake’s falling for Alva and she still hasn’t so much as smiled at him.

One thing’s for certain – he’s not going anywhere until the full, fantastic truth is revealed.

A siren on the run. A ship full of strangers. A storm that knows her name.

Gina is running from a life she can’t explain—and a truth she can’t face. Under false pretences and with no plan beyond the horizon, she boards a historic sailing ship hoping to vanish into salt and sky. But when she meets someone who sees more than he should, and a storm that feels more like a reckoning than an accident, Gina realizes the sea has plans of its own.

For one boy, she’s unforgettable. For the sea, she’s unfinished business.

Cobalt is a haunting prequel about identity, escape, and the beginning of a legacy far bigger than one mermaid.

Return to the siren realm of A.L. Knorr with Pretty Little Mermaids, which expands the lore and worlds established in Born of Water, Mermaid’s Return and The Siren’s Curse, but is set before the events of the latter.
