"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. This is one author to watch, since she’s sure to delight us with more weird and wonderful stories for years to come. That this is Burke’s first book is also kind of incredible, because her talent is evident on every page. She is the award-winning author of Compass Rose, Thorn, Nottingham. Anna Burke has created a real gem with Compass Rose, one that fans of sci fi, and specifically climate fiction, should not miss. Aboard the mercenary ship, Man o’ War, Rose learns quickly that trusting the wrong person can get you killed―and Miranda’s crew have no intention of making things easy for her―especially Miranda’s trusted first mate, Orca, who is as stubborn as she is brutal. Anna Burke enjoys all things nautical and generally prefers animals to people. Accompanied by a ragtag crew of mercenaries and under the command of Miranda, a captain as bloodthirsty as she is alluring, Rose discovers the hard way that even the best sense of direction won’t be enough to keep her alive if she can’t learn to navigate something far more dangerous than the turbulent seas. Her uncanny sense of direction earns her a coveted place among the Archipelago Fleet elite, but it also attracts the attention of Admiral Comita, who sends her on a secret mission deep into pirate territory. Rose was born facing due north, with an inherent perception of cardinal points flowing through her veins. In the year 2513, the only thing higher than the seas is what’s at stake for those who sail them.
