Seventeen-year-old princess Alosa is an accomplished captain of an all-female pirate crew strong in combat. On a mission from her pirate king father, Alosa allows herself to be captured by a rival crew--though she hadn't bargained on the distraction of their hunky first mate, Riden. An intriguing gender-role-subverting adventure set in a fantasy world awash with swashbucklers and sirens.
