A debut swashbuckling fantasy following a powerful sorceress, the Marquese Enid d'Tancreville, as she is forced on the run where she meets a vast cast of characters including a young sea captain who has need of a sea mage. Perfect for fans of Patrick O'Brian, Naomi Novik, and Brian McClellan.
Despite her powerful magic, Marquese Enid d'Tancreville must flee her homeland to escape death at the hands of the Theocratic Revolution. When a Theocratic warship overtakes the ship bearing her to safety, Enid is spared capture by the timely intervention of the Albion frigate Alarum, under the commend of Commander Rue Nath.

These circumstances make for an odd alliance, and Enid finds herself replacing the Alarum's recently slain sea mage. Now an officer under Nath's command, Enid is thrust into a strange maritime world full of confusing customs, duties, and language. Worse, as she soon discovers, the threat of revolution is not confined to shore.

      Taking a page from the classic naval novels of C.S. Forrester and Alexander Kent, debut novelist Carpenter opens his Tides of Magic series by tossing a mage and a commander into a series of entertaining nautical escapades in a fantasy setting reminiscent of the French Revolution. Enid, Marquise d’Tancreville, flees the Theocratic Republic that now rules her homeland. Aiding her escape, Capt. Rue Nath of Albion offers Enid the post of mage aboard his ship, the Alarum. A successful commander responsible for the daring capture of many enemy vessels, Nath has a harder time navigating the political waters of the Admiralty. Carpenter supplies all the required elements—witty banter, swashbuckling action, dramatic speeches, wild weather—and throws in a dash of magic to spice up the briny brew. The two leads display enough vulnerability and flaws to keep readers from being too certain of their victories. Carpenter’s off to a promising start. Agent: Caitlin Blasdell, Liza Dawson Assoc.

      In an alternate universe at a time similar to the nineteenth century, revolution and war are the norm. Carlotta Brentan begins the narration of the Tides of Magic series. This sea adventure finds the Marquise Enid d'Tancreville running to the island nation of Albion. At home the Theocratic Revolution is routing out nobles and mages. Her ship is overtaken by a Theocratic warship and then rescued by an Albion frigate. In short order, Enid is convinced to become the frigate's sea mage. Brentan establishes Enid's persona from her first appearance. She is aloof and haughty--as befits a noblewoman. She remains secretive, but Brentan softens her a bit as she finds her place among the ship's crew. Brentan navigates the somewhat stilted language skillfully.
