Please, don’t take this dedication of a book about pirates and burglars as an insult.

We’ve wrapped up the third Realmgard story, The Bandits of Goldharbour. Here’s your recap and chance to re-read any chapter you may have missed:

Kat Darkstone is looking forward to a nice, quiet vacation in the beautiful seaside city of Goldharbour. Amara Valda is looking forward to showing her best friend around all of Goldharbour’s most happening places. Dunstana Darkstone is looking forward to meeting the living legends of the Brotherhood of the Coasts at their annual assembly.

Dirk Broadsword and Alison Steel, the most-wanted bandits in Realmgard are looking forward to continuing their legendary crime spree.

As Dunstana crosses paths with Realmgard’s best and brightest pirates, Kat and Amara find themselves crossing paths with the infamous Bandits of Goldharbour.

Does Dunstana have what it takes to make a name for herself among her fellow pirates? Does Kat have what it takes to protect her mother and best friend from the ruthless, greedy Bandits of Goldharbour?

Is Amara wearing the right shoes for an encounter with bandits?

“Oh no! It’s the Bandits!” one of the people on the patio exclaims.

“Good heavens!”

“Oh, not again,” a particularly unfortunate citizen of Goldharbour mutters.

“However, we are, unfortunately, approaching the conclusion of this year’s Brotherhood Awards.”

Dunstana doesn’t really think that’s actually such a bad thing.

“And afterwards, as always,” Plaid Jack continues. “There will be cake.”

This kind of running is not part of Amara’s daily routine.

There is, she is coming to realise, a very good reason for that.

It is a nasty, brutish, uncomfortable and utterly plebeian thing to do.

She does not dream of Bandits. She does not dream of pirates.

She does not dream of eyebrows. She does not dream of best friends, or little sisters, or vacations gone crazy.

She simply sleeps the deep and dreamless sleep of heroes.

“Fortunately for you two, the practices of keelhauling and judicial catapulting have been suspended pending an appeal to the Court of Magistrates.”
