Here's our set-up: The Hundred Isles and Gaunt Isles have been at war for hundreds of years fighting in the great seas. This seems far away for Joron Twiner, a ship wife of a Black Ship, a ship that is essentially a death sentence (once sentenced to death you're sentenced to the Black ship). Then one day Lucky Meas, the greatest ship wife of all time, challenges him to his ship and wins. Lucky Meas turns his ship from scoundrels to fleet and restores it to glory. Indeed Meas promises them a future of no wars and the ship fights to end the never ending war despite being outcasts.
This book series is good. If you are looking for an easy entry to fantasy this could very well be the book for you. The second might be slightly better than the first but it's all great.
