Giovanna Roselli

About

Mapmakers whisper about the tattooed lines across her back—each scar a nautical route she's conquered, each story more dangerous than the last. With a multilingual parrot perched like a battle standard and storms perpetually trailing her ship's wake, Giovanna Roselli commands the seas not through volume, but through a calculated silence that makes even hardened sailors nervous.

Backstory

The storm raged, but Giovanna Roselli stood defiant on the deck, her heart pounding as she chose to cut the anchor rather than abandon her first mate, Finn, to the sinking ship. The map on her back, inked by her cartographer mother, seemed to burn as she navigated the treacherous Crimson Isles, losing her left eye to a rogue wave but gaining a legend. Her parrot, a squawking witness to her daring, now curses in the languages of the sailors she's bested. The king of the Silver Isles put a price on her head after she sent his flagship, the 'Royal Wave,' to the depths, avenging the villages he'd plundered. Yet, Giovanna's true secret lies not in her bravery, but in her hidden lineage from the royal family of Seraphina's Cove, a truth she'd die to protect.
