“At 17, I know what's out there. I have seen evil and I have beaten it. Whatever life throws at me, I'm gonna survive it and I'm gonna come out stronger. Not everyone is like that, though; not everyone needs to be. Somewhere in this world there are people who go to bed with full stomachs. People with loved ones who kiss them goodnight. People who will fall in love, get married, and live happily. Somewhere, there are people in this world that are not evil or vicious or petty. Not here, but somewhere. So there's my big secret: I believe in fairytales. If you tell anyone, I'll run you up the main mast and use you for a flag.” -Danny

*This fast-paced young adult novel is full of adventure as the young hero tries to find both a past and a future. Enjoy witty banter and creative insults from a narrator with a "big knife and a bigger attitude."*“I didn't know who I was. The official story was shipwreck, and, though I know there was more to it than that, I never asked. Life for me began eight years ago when my “uncles” fished me from the sea. Keeping me had meant one more blanket on a floor and one more plate on a table that had little enough to start with. I was quick to find ways to make up the difference. I had skills that helped me to pick my marks and contribute my share. I also had plenty to learn about life on the street. That learning took enough time and energy that I didn't think much about my past, until recently. It was getting harder and harder to keep my own secrets. My uncles knew, but it had always been easier for everyone to pretend. I am an orphan, a thief, and now a sailor. I didn't know who I was and if the cannon fire was any indication, my options for who I will be are about to become severely limited." The Sea Dragon's Lair Ch 1
