In the days when the granddaughter of Rufik and Cossypha is Queen of Erythroth, Torrie sets out on another adventure, this time at sea. Anna is a young sea-captain on a mission to rescue her father from Nevilla the Pirate-Queen. She has a dozen retired pirates to crew her ship, the Shrike, and a secret weapon: Torrie, oldest of the Old Things of the Wild Forest. Pirates, magical treasure, a sea-serpent, a marooned prince and a kingdom under a terrible curse...

The Danish translation of Torrie and the Pirate-Queen, entitled Sørøverdronningen, is available from Forlaget Thorup in Denmark
(ISBN: 87-7889-279-1)
