{WOW} DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING by Tricia Levenseller

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's WoW selection is...








's Pick:



Title: Daughter of the Pirate King
Author: Tricia Levenseller
Series: n/a
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date: February 21, 2017

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

If you want something done right . . .

When the ruthless pirate king learns of a legendary treasure map hidden on an enemy ship, his daughter, Alosa, knows there's only one pirate for the job—herself. Leaving behind her beloved ship and crew, Alosa deliberately facilitates her own kidnapping to ensure her passage on the ship, confident in her ability to overcome any obstacle. After all, who's going to suspect a seventeen-year-old girl locked in a cell? Then she meets the (surprisingly perceptive and unfairly attractive) first mate, Riden, who is charged with finding out all her secrets. Now it's down to a battle of wits and will . . . . Can Alosa find the map and escape before Riden figures out her plan?

Debut author Tricia Levenseller blends action, adventure, romance, and a little bit of magic into a thrilling YA pirate tale.

I love pirate stories! And I'm already imagining that Riden looks like Hook from OUAT. :D This story of deception and treasure and enemy pirates sounds so fun. That cover might be too cutesy, though. Since it's not final, I'm wondering what other options they're looking at...

What are you desperately waiting for this Wednesday? Let us know in the comments or share a link to your own WoW post!
