Read Lisa Jensen's new review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest!

"Jane Eyre goes to Treasure Island."   That's how Jacqueline Simonds, author of Captain Mary, Buccaneer characterized this extraordinary book.

In 1823, Tory Lightfoot is a runaway from Boston’s soul-stifling Worthen Academy for Women where her rebellious nature and mixed blood are the source of constant scorn and abuse. Seeking freedom that she knows she’ll never find at the school, she disguises herself by dressing like a young man and stows away aboard  a heavily laden merchantman bound for Barbados – only to be captured by pirates.  Through a series of well-meant but disastrous choices, Tory winds up accepting the pirates' invitation to join their crew.  She quickly takes to the life of an outlaw – plundering ships while playing cat and mouse with the American "West India Squadron," a flotilla of warships out to decorate their yardarms with hanged buccaneers. But the authorities turn out to be the least of her troubles, for it is her heart that tests her character and ability to survive. First there is Matty, a handsome gentleman’s-son- turned-pirate out to prove himself on his own terms. There’s also Jack, her pirate mentor, who reluctantly helps her adapt to the brigand's life.

The Witch from the Sea is an adult / Young Adult historical adventure / romance novel unlike any you've read before.  With heart-pounding action and blazing romance set against the background of 19th century Caribbean Sea colonialism, it is undoubtedly the best read of the new Millennium.  This important new book will challenge you to think differently about women, Caribbean history, pirates, and the meaning of love and desire.
