Bellarose and the Pirate

Bellarose and the Pirate

Twisted Fairy Tale Series

Pirate ship. Sea witch crafted typhoons. Mermaids.

Bookworm Bellarose, less egotistical Gerard, insecure Quinn, and mysterious Elayne continue to live inside a fairy tale. This time Bellarose has been kidnapped by an infamous pirate with a hooked hand.

They still have no memories of their real world as each teen is forced to play out an adventure—some aboard a ship and some on an exotic island. Dangers surround them as they battle mythical creatures and face inner demons. Since Aerowyn’s curses have caused the stories to be warped, villains who should not have existed are thwarting the enchantress’s plans to fix the tales with no end in sight.

About the Book

This story continues with Bellarose on a pirate ship, The Black Fear with a fresh perspective from the timeless

tale of Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid. 

Despite Bella’s efforts to devise a plan for escape from her captor, Captain Jasper Falcon, she is trapped until an unexpected turn of events puts the whole crew on a magical island with an eventual rescue.

Pirates, lost boys, and an powerful fae king, find adventure and danger on Ageless Isle while Bellarose has flashes of her real world.

For fans of the television series Once Upon a Time, this series embraces a similarly enchanting formula where fairy tales converge and diverge unexpectedly. Prepare for delightful surprises as each story unfolds with its own unique twists and turns, challenging you to anticipate its captivating conclusions.

Read this teen fairy tale story for action, adventure, wholesome romance, mermaids, and nods to several iconic pirates.

Captain Jasper Falcon

One of the main characters in Bellarose and the Pirate is Jasper. He’s a Captain Hook retelling, but with influences from Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, Westley from Princess Bride, and Killian Jones from the TV show Once Upon a Time. The tattoo idea came from Carla’s friend who said she would love a character who looked like Stanislav Lanevski, the actor who played Viktor Krum in Harry Potter. As an adult, he is rather muscular and full of tattoos, which is much like Jasper Falcon.
