As an assassin working for the pirate queen, 18-year-old Sorinda is surprised when Alosa’s next task for her is not to kill a new target, but to captain a handpicked crew on a rescue mission. Unfortunately, her helmsman is 20-year-old, Kearan. He might be talented, but Sorinda finds him a real pain in the arse. Sadly, there are few places on a ship to hide from an attentive and attractive man.

As the crew of the Vengeance faces dangerous waters and deadly sea creatures, they accidentally awaken the King of the Undersea—a man only half-alive, who can control the dead..

Once the expedition is underway, the voyage slowly grows into an adventurous rumpus, beginning with eerie disappearances and a gripping sea battle that force Sorinda and her crew to prepare for whatever or whoever is lurking in the treacherous seas. Themes of vulnerability and self-possession dominate the story as the guarded protagonist–usually cloaked in secrecy–steadily reveals more of herself.

Seemingly inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, Levenseller largely captures a similar blend of humor, fantasy, romance, and action. The defining difference here–a focus on women characters–is a fine attribute. An action-packed story expanding the world of women pirates.
