Critics Review
“Readers looking for high-seas action and teen girls defying their era’s stereotypical gender roles will be in for a delight.”
–BCCB
[An] action-packed historical fantasy […] the sisters’ loving but spiky relationship is the heart of this swashbuckling tale.”
–Booklist
“Calella’s action-packed debut manages to combine fairytale and drama with a hint of comedy, drawing upon the best elements of each. With a charming voice and a focus on girls who aren’t afraid to be imperfectly messy, this book is a fun, seafaring romp!”
–M.K. Lobb, author of Seven Faceless Saints
“A vast and thrilling tale! Calella’s delightful debut charts a steadfast course through an emotional story of sisterhood, friendship, and the meaning of legacy. A spectacular swashbuckling adventure from start to finish.”
–Rosiee Thor, author of Fire Becomes Her
“I absolutely adored this book for its brave heroines and cheered for them as they fought pirates, scoundrels, and their own deepest fears. Perfect for fans of Our Flag Means Death, Pirates of the Caribbean, and feminist takes on history that put swords in girls’ hands and let them fight fiercely for what and who they love.”
–Jamie Pacton, author of The Vermilion Emporium
“Calella’s worldbuilding and characters shine, taking us on a journey filled with magic, danger, and lots of heart. The real curse would be never picking this book up in the first place.”
–Alex Brown, author of Damned If You Do and contributor for the Indie Bestseller The Gathering Dark
“A page-turning pirate adventure about sisters finding themselves and each other on the high seas. You’ll discover a treasure trove of loveable, vibrant characters, vital prose, and gasp-inducing twists.”
–Leanne Schwartz, author of A Prayer for Vengeance and To a Darker Shore
