About the Crimson Sails series

Crimson Sails is Katee Robert's pirate-romance trilogy, opening with Hunt on Dark Waters (2023) and continuing through Blood on the Tide (2024) and Rebel in the Deep (2025). Each book pairs a different member of a pirate crew or its rivals with a new love interest, delivered in Robert's high-heat, power-dynamic-driven style.

As with her Dark Olympus and Wicked Villains series, Crimson Sails takes a familiar high-drama premise -- outlaw pirate crews, stolen ships, dangerous bargains -- and filters it through Robert's signature blend of explicit romance and morally grey power struggles.
