Synopsis

Return to the high seas in the captivating sequel to the bestselling Latinx-inspired romantasy Capitana, where Ximena Reale is trying to bring down an empire. But with her loyalties torn, she finds herself grappling with the true price of freedom . . . and love.

XIMENA REALE WAS TRAINED TO HUNT PIRATES. NOW SHE SAILS AS ONE.

After claiming the title of Gasparilla and escaping execution at the hands of the Empire, Ximena is hailed as a hero across the Luzan Archipelago. But when the resistance begins to fracture, Ximena must risk everything to save the cause.

Her quest leads her to the northern islands, where forbidden magic still thrives and rebellion simmers beneath the surface. With the help of her sister Marquesa, her loyal crew and Dante de León - the infuriating cazador who may be her greatest enemy or her greatest love - Ximena is drawn into a war that could change the fate of the archipelago forever.

But as loyalties shift and the cost of freedom grows higher than ever, Ximena must decide what kind of pirate she wants to be . . . and how much she's willing to sacrifice to become it.

A must-read for fans of DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING, TO KILL A KINGDOM, TOGETHER WE BURN and COMPASS AND BLADE.
