But when I allow myself to use the gifts my mother gave me, I become something else.

There was plenty of danger and secrets that needed to be uncovered in this story and I was hooked. She got more desperate as she search more and more of the ship and still turned up nothing, but the longer she stayed on the ship the more intricate her plans needed to become to continue her search without seeming suspicious. There was plenty at stake for Alosa, and she was without any back up or support, but there was never a moment where she gave into her fears. Alosa may be the daughter of the pirate king, feared across both land and sea, but if she doesn’t find the map soon she’ll have to face his wrath. However the longer she spends aboard the more places she crosses off her list of hiding places for the map, and the more Draxen begins to get impatient with her lack of answers as to where her father can be found. Ridiculous.”īeing locked in the brig isn’t a problem for Alosa, neither is being surrounded by cruel and vicious pirates as none can be as vicious as her father. This is the second time I’ve had to stage my own capture. It should not be this difficult to stay prisoner on a pirate ship. Alosa’s deadline slowly approaches and she struggles to find the map aboard her enemies’ ship which leads to her taking bigger and more risks.

Right away I loved Alosa’s character, she’s witty, determined and smart, and while the pacing of the story slowed down a little after the first chapter there was still plenty to keep me engaged. Alosa allowed herself to be captured by Draxen and Riden for one purpose only, to search for third of a legendary map the brothers have which will lead Alosa’s father to the legendary siren island and the untold treasures there.ĭaughter of the Pirate King opens at the heart of the action as Alosa’s ship comes under attack and she’s taken prisoner. When Alosa is captured by pirates, hoping to hold her ransom to her father, it isn’t an unfortunate accident on her part or skill on the part of her enemies. If we’re to succeed, you really shouldn’t be seen performing impressive feats with the sword.” “If we’re to survive this, you need to stay put.” 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. 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. 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. There will be plenty of time for me to beat him soundly once I’ve gotten what I came for.
