Daughter of the Pirate King

By Tricia Levenseller

Book Overview

A 17-year-old pirate captain intentionally allows herself to get captured by enemy pirates in this thrilling high seas tale.

There will be plenty of time for me to beat him soundly once I've gotten what I came for.

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. 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. 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.

In Daughter of the Pirate King, debut author Tricia Levenseller blends action, adventure, romance, and a little bit of magic into a gripping tale on the high seas.

And don't miss the sequel, Daughter of the Siren Queen!

Praise for Daughter of the Pirate King:

"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, slow-burning 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." --Anna Banks, author of the New York Times Bestseller Of Triton

"Levenseller has created a formidable female character who can take care of herself as she makes some hard decisions. Hand to skilled readers seeking true adventure with swashbuckling, sword fighting, and a great problem-solving heroine." --School Library Journal

"Levenseller makes an impressive debut with this funny, fast-paced, and romance-dashed nautical fantasy, set in an alternate world of pirates, sirens, and myriad islands....This one's not to be missed." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"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 teen audience." --Shelf Awareness

Customer Reviews

Get ready for an adventure on the high seas! 🏴‍☠️

Overall: 4.5/5 Ease of reading: 5/5 Romance: 2/5 I loved this book! ♥️ It is so immersive right from the start, with lots of action, sneaking around, banter, and a bit of romance and magic. I am so happy that, although they are young, the MFC and MMC are both smart. THANK YOU! I was engaged the whole way through and the writing style is very easy to read. Some parts were very predictable especially with the titles of this series being so literal, but it was still a very satisfying and fun read. There was a plot twist in the end that had me surprised and it set up nicely for the second book. That being said, it wasn't much of a cliffhanger and more of an opening to continue the story. The half star off is just because of the lack of world building and romance. I would have loved to see more of the magical world that these pirates live in. And, although I did love Alosa's and Riden's banter, I do wish there was some more tension and longing built in the overall relationship. I recommend to anyone that wants a fun and witty pirate adventure! 🏴‍☠️🦜⚔️ Warning: Although not overly described, there is quite a bit of death & torture in this book.

Not normally my style

Normally I don't care much for books with romance. I don't think every book with a male lead and a female lead needs romance. But the romance and the plot twined perfectly, neither outpaced the other, and the characters, both themselves and their relationships, felt natural. Like real people.

A little spicier than I thought

Id say this book as a whole is good. It was very heavily plot driven without as much depth, which is fine for the kind of book it is. There were a few scenes that didnt have to be so detailed, especially for YA, but nothing went too far. I think the characters are likeable and well built, so yeah. Overall it's an okay read. Not exactly what I was hoping, but im not mad. It definitely wasnt boring, I read it in less than 24 hours! It would be a 4 star except for the sneaky spice!

Amazing

I could not put this book down it was so good

Loved!

Loved this book and the series itself! Easy read with fun flirtatious adventure!

loved this book!

I literally started and finished this book on the same day, in the same sitting. I read faster when I like a book and I definitely liked this book since I read it in about 2.5 hours. The book I bought was new so I didn’t expect any issues in that regard.

Loved it
