# The Pirate and the Porcelain Girl - Hardcover

by **Emily Riesbeck** (Created by), **Nj Barna** (Created by), **Emily Riesbeck** (Author)

**_Our Flag Means Death_ gets a magical, sapphic twist in this swashbuckling young adult graphic novel adventure full of high-stakes adventure, fantastical creatures, and a swoony enemies-to-lovers romance perfect for fans of _In Deeper Waters_ and _The Prince and the Dressmaker_.**

_"I want to be beautiful. I want to be interesting. I want to be enough."_

That was Ferra Brickminder's prayer to win back the love of her life. And the gods answer--just not in the way she expected. After hoping for a miracle, Ferra instead watches her skin turn into delicate and dangerously breakable porcelain.

Elsewhere, Brigantine de la Girona, a disgraced orc pirate captain, has her own problems. Penniless and banished from her home, Brig struggles to make ends meet with her crew as her only support. So, when a desperate Ferra enlists Brig to sail her across the Great Sea to her ex-girlfriend's home for a _very_ handsome fee, Brig is happy to strike a deal.

Pampered Ferra and tough-as-nails Brig quickly butt heads, bickering their way across the high seas, but as they encounter increasingly perilous obstacles--including the gods themselves--the two become reluctant allies...and maybe more.

### Author Biography

Emily Riesbeck started writing comics at the age of ten, when they created their first original character, the superhero Aqua Guy. Since then, they've written the webcomic _The Blue Valkyrie_ and graphic novels like _It's Your Funeral_, _Mountain_, and _The Pirate and the Porcelain Girl_. They live in Chicago with their two partners and their cat, Yuri.

NJ Barna has loved drawing for as long as she can remember and has been making comics in some shape or form only a little less far back than that.
