'“From start to finish, this is a thrilling book.”' The Telegraph
'Eagar’s novel never lags or loses heart, and it’s irresistibly baited with a cursed treasure hoard, danger, and candy. Flashback chapters fill in important backstory on Merrick, and readers will adore Fidelia for the passionate and clever heroine she is. Refreshingly, women are as likely to captain a ship as plunder it in this fictional world, a small but enriching detail. Earnest and exciting, this swashbuckling voyage of self-discovery sparkles even when threatened by the stormiest seas.' Booklist, starred review

'Set in a world that combines futuristic and historical elements to intriguing effect, this is an exciting maritime adventure with a strong, layered heroine.' Publishers Weekly, starred review
