Quinn

Magic comes with a price-can they pay it? Quinn Modo has been transformed from an abused hunched back stable boy to the handsome captain of a ship, but having a handsome face doesn't erase the glares, grimaces, and ridicules etched in his mind. Magic has consequences. He must either choose to save Bella, the girl he loves, or lose everything he ever wished for. Bella knows loss, rejection, and pain all too well. Kidnapped by a pirate, abandoned by the one man she once loved, then rescued from a sea witch's fury, Bella can't decide what to think of the infuriating but handsome captain. Her faith in people shattered, she must learn to trust and love anew. When an old nemesis seeks revenge, Quinn and Bella's fates-and perhaps that of stories themselves-hang in the balance. Bella and Quinn may be the key to repairing magical damage, but the price will be higher than either of them anticipates.
