About this audiobook
An Instant USA TODAY Bestseller!
A Paste Magazine Most Anticipated Summer Romantasy
A Los Angeles Times Best Summer Romance Read
“A chaotic Pirates of the Caribbean-style story with a dash of romance and female rage is exactly what I need this summer.”—Paste Magazine
From a world where women are forbidden to use magic and the only freedom is found on the Caribbean high seas comes a swashbuckling romantasy from USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh.
Condemned as a witch, sentenced to die, Alys Tanner uses her innate magical power to flee Puritanical New England. Stealing a ship, Alys becomes captain of The Sea Witch, leading its all-female, sorcery-wielding pirate crew. But the colonial British navy is in hot pursuit. The navy fights for a choke hold on the Caribbean and will destroy anything they cannot control, especially witches.
When Ben Priestley, a headstrong naval navigator, is inadvertently captured by the lady pirates, dangerous truths are revealed. A quest that could turn the tides against the navy’s might ignites a reluctant partnership between the by-the-books prisoner and the fierce witch pirate captain. While they brave backstabbing pirates, perilous tropical islands and monster-filled seas, Alys and Ben’s mistrust grows into unexpected desire as they battle an enemy that will stop at nothing to rule the waves.

Sail the Caribbean seas aboard The Sea Witch with a crew of rebellious female witch pirates in this historical fantasy. Alys Tanner fled her old life in New England, where women who use magic are sentenced to death, but the men who use magic are given a higher education. Now captain of The Sea Witch and a crew of magical women, Alys can forge her own path. Alys and her crew capture a well-known naval navigator, Ben Priestley. Ben and Alys are enemies, but they share a desire to find a failsafe that was hidden by another pirate. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Okay, so now I need to read book two because of that ending! For me, this book was very slow-paced, and I found my mind drifting while I listened. I think that the world and character building have been well developed for the next book in the series.
