Alosa has never been normal. Sent to retrieve an ancient treasure map for her father, she willingly gets captured by a group of enemy pirates to live amongst them as a prisoner. With hair the color of fire, and a matching attitude, playing the helpless kidnapped maiden is not in her books. With a limited time to find the map and return it to her father, Alosa must make sure she sticks to the plan to make her father proud. However, when a devilishly handsome Riden, second mate to the enemy Captain, comes into her life, it’s safe to say that the map isn’t the only thing on Alosa’s mind.

If you have ever enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean, then Tricia Levenseller’s The Daughter of the Pirate King is the series for you. With only two books in the series, this story is nothing but captivating. With its debut release in February of 2017, the series is still growing, but it doesn’t stop the admiration of many who have come to love the feisty and fiery Alosa.

“Readers should rejoice because we now have a lady Jack Sparrow on our hands! Daughter of the Pirate King kidnapped my interest from the first chapter and never let it go! It’s a superior debut with a deeply entangled romance, a fearsome heroine not to be trifled with, a clever hero that you seriously want to trifle with, and a plot twist that makes a rollercoaster seem stable. With a cunning plot, robust writing, and complicated characters, any reader will enjoy being manipulated in Levenseller’s capable hands. Definitely for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, fierce heroines, slowburning romances, and adventures that can turn sour in the space of a gasp. Not for fans of complacent heroines, soothing plots, or those who don’t speak sarcasm,” said Anna Banks, author of the New York Times Bestseller Of Triton.

Shelf Awareness wrote, "Tricia Levenseller's vivacious debut novel, the first in a duology, boasts stormy seas, sexy pirates, swordplay, and a heroine who conquers all three with aplomb... A rip-roaring high seas escapade with a tinge of fantasy, Daughter of the Pirate King will engage and enthrall its audience."

Although I’ve read it many times over, it still is a fastpaced action novel that I quite enjoy. So if you’re looking for a book to read after a dreary day, The Daughter of the Pirate King is just for you.
