Ahoy! Read These 15 Books About Pirates For a Wild Ride

If you, like me, think James Norrington deserved better in Pirates of the Caribbean, then you'll love "Dark Water Daughter" ($15) by H.M. Long. Stormsinger Mary needs a way out of her servitude to the dangerous pirate lord Lirr, so she offers her services instead to his rival. Samuel is a disgraced former naval captain who has turned into a privateer in hopes of bringing Lirr to justice and regaining his position. Their alliance is shaky at best, but they'll have to work together if they have any hopes of standing up against vengeful pirates and powerful supernatural forces.
