I’m very pleased to welcome the Escapist Book Tour’s Map Reveal for K.R.R. Lockhaven’s The Marauders, the Daughter, and the Dragon to The Irresponsible Reader this morning! For certain Fantasy readers maps mean more than covers–map reveals really ought to be more common, right? I finished reading this book a couple of days ago, incidentally, and you’re going to want to get your hands on it. But I’ll get into that in a few days. For now, let’s see if the map entices you enough–but first, let’s learn about the book.

About the Book
To say that Azure Brine is at odds with her father would be an understatement. His recent spiral into the “Humans First” politics of League of Islands’ new governor has strained their once-strong relationship to the breaking point.
Their connection is truly put to the test when her father decides to join the governor’s ship on a voyage to the Capitol Isles for the inauguration. But when Azure learns that the governor has nefarious plans for the islands, and that her father is in mortal danger, she and her best friend (a shit-talking bird named Robin) set out across the archipelago to save him.
Along the way they meet a reanimated skeleton with confidence issues, a group of “pirates errant” who just want to sing and have adventures, and a dragon with an emotional arc.
