Books like Treason's shore by Sherwood Smith
Inda arrives on the battlefield of the Venn with a reputation for a decisive victory. His triumph earns him a place beside King Evred as Harskialdna, the king’s Shield, and a mandate to occupy the strait should the war end in a victory for the unified kingdoms. Yet the Venn are far from defeated, and the consolidated forces must act swiftly to protect the vital maritime corridor that keeps commerce alive. Historian pirates of Inda’s past are not forgotten; he fears that the king’s order to seize the strait would unleash the very danger he has fought to quell. Facing a conflict of duty and love for the merchant mariners who depend on a safe passage, Inda confronts his deepest loyalties as the stakes rise. The novel explores themes of honor, politics, and the weight of command in a world of high adventure.
