It's the early 1700s and sixteen-year-old Julia Farrow, spirited daughter of a shipping company owner, lives and loves on her own terms. With a sharp mind and sharper tongue, she constantly defies family and society expectations with no regard for the consequences.
Branna Kelly, only child of an Irish immigrant sailor, is hopelessly in love with Julia and imagines their life together as captains of their own fate. Left brokenhearted after Julia's rejection, she embarks on a journey to chart a new shipping route to the Caribbean. Before Julia can explain her decision, Branna's ship is overrun by merciless pirates. All hands are presumed lost.
Fifteen years later, Julia is running the Farrow Company and sailing with the crew on her newest ship when an encounter with pirates leaves her the lone survivor to be rescued by the infamous Raven, hard-hearted captain of the mercenary ship, Banshee. Julia is shocked to discover her rescuer wears a familiar face.
The Raven and the Banshee is a passionate tale of vengeance, forgiveness, and second chance love in a swashbuckling adventure on the high seas.

"The characters are interesting, the setting is rich, and there's no shortage of good action. My only complaint comes from the choice to include realistic misogyny into a F/F pirate romance, which IMO drags the tone down a little bit. Having said that, I would still listen to an entire series of these books. The narrator, Mary Sarah, did a good job of giving the characters distinct and clear voices, so it was not a problem to follow along. Rating: 4½??/5. Sex: three soft-R-rated scenes.

CW/TW: graphic pirate violence and gore; brief description of attempted SA."
