Synopsis
Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map—the key to a legendary treasure trove—seventeen-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship.
More than a match for the ruthless pirate crew, Alosa has only one thing standing between her and the map: her captor, the unexpectedly clever and unfairly attractive first mate, Riden. But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King.
A Review
If a book makes me squeal, then I consider it a winner. And this book definitely had me do that! Not to mention I devoured this book in less than 24 hours. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, and I found that Levenseller did a great job of only giving out little bits of information at a time, so there was a hint of mystery in it. Furthermore, the protagonist, Alosa, is both witty and incredibly fierce, plus her narration and overall personality made her a lovable character that you want to root for. Just maybe don’t get into a fight with her on a pirate ship. Overall, I highly recommend this book, especially for a quick, amusing read, and I also recommend having the sequel on hand to start right after you finish this one!
