title: The Ransom: Legacy of the King's Pirates
author:  MaryLu Tyndall 
description: <div> <b><i><span>The Ransom </span></i></b><span><b>is a deftly spun tale of masquerade, redemption, and forgiveness</b>. Tyndall recreates the pirate haven with such realism that it's as if it rises from its watery grave to show readers why it was once deemed "the Sodom of the New World." She paints her characters with such vividness and detail that they come to life, pulling readers into the midst of their lives. . . And when the inevitable occurs, we experience their terror, suffering, and salvation. <i>The Ransom </i>is a journey not soon forgotten and one we never want to end.</span><br><span><i>Cindy Vallar - Editor of Pirates and Privateers</i></span> </div><br /><br /><b>The novel is action packed and full of adventures </b>both on and off the sea and features well-developed characters. . .I loved the intertwining themes of piracy and redemption, love and grief, and always with Tyndall's works is the undercurrent of spirituality. I recommend this to historical romance lovers who would enjoy a hunky pirate in their midst! <br><i>Burton Book Reviews</i><br /><br />From clashing sword fights and battles between ships, to earthquakes and fire, <b>there is nary a dull moment </b>leading up to the finale of this exhilarating story that will bring a lump to your throat, tears in your eyes, and praise for God in your heart.<span> </span>Noela Nancarrow, Reviewer, Overcoming With God<br /><br /><span>With an intricate, heart racingplotguaranteed tocause the readerto chuckleand shed a few tears, this is certainly in my opinion,one of, if not<b><i>the</i>best pirate novels that has ever come from this writer's pen</b>...er, quill that is.<span> </span>Diana Flowers, poet and book reviewer, Colonial Quills</span><br /><br /><b>Breathless Action and an Adventure that held me captive</b>! . . . Brilliant character portrayals combine with breathless action and a setting so real that I could almost smell the dank air of the wharves and hear the splash of the waves. No one pens an adventure quite like Tyndall. . .A startling and magnificent conclusion made me gasp, as did the historical Afterword. One of Tyndall's finest novels, this will be on my keeper shelf. <b>Highly recommended</b>! <i>Mocha with Linda, Book Reviewer</i>

  PRAISE FOR THE INNKEEPER’S DAUGHTER
  
  “More than a breathless romance, The Innkeeper’s Daughter is an intriguing
