A seventeen-year-old pirate captain must race her father, the Pirate King, to a legendary hidden treasure in this thrilling, action-packed YA sequel to Daughter of the Pirate King. My father's ships will be at the siren's mercy. We will be the ones to reach the island first and claim its treasure for ourselves.

Alosa's mission is finally complete. Not only has she recovered all three pieces of the map to a legendary hidden treasure, but the pirates who originally took her captive are now prisoners on her ship. Still unfairly attractive and unexpectedly loyal, Riden is a constant distraction, but now he's under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will be facing her father's justice.

When Vordan exposes a secret her father has kept for years, Alosa and her crew find themselves in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first . . . after all, she's the daughter of the Siren Queen. 

 


Daughter of the Siren Queen is the second installment in author Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King. This book picks up two months after the ending of the previous installment. Captain Alosha Kalligan of the Ava-Lee and her crew are on a mission to find the final piece of the map that is said to lead the way to a place called Isla de Canta where Siren's keep a fortune in gold and goods they've collected over the centuries. But after catching up with Vordan and his crew, he let's Alosha know that her father has been keeping a stunning secret from her.

It seems as though the Pirate King Kalligan found something on the Island where he was the only survivor. He also may have something capable of defeating the sirens, including Alosha's own siren call. She also discovers a even more stunning secret. A secret that will change everything for Alosha and set the stage for Alosha to head out on her own against an entire Pirate fleet ready to stop her. If you read the first installment, or even my review of the first installment, you know that Alosha's heritage is half human and half siren. 

Her siren side is out of control and there is only one person who seems to be able to control her when he's around. Only Riden seems to be able to control Alosha's siren which makes him the perfect person to test her abilities to gain control so that she can outfox and defeat an entire fleet of Pirates led by her father. Alosha has no choice but to find the sirens' lair on her own, and claim their treasure for herself, especially since she has a connection to the Siren Queen. 

The voyage of the Ava-lee is nothing but dangerous. With her father's entire fleet on her heels, her only chance at defeating him is to control her siren nature, and use it to save her crew. She loves every member of the crew, and she is a fair captain in that she shares the wealth. The crew in turn  would all lay down their lives for her as well. Alosa is a character who is brutal, strong willed and level headed heroine but has some interesting moments with the youngest member of her crew.

Although this book was apparently going to be the final installment in the series, it has come to my attention that the author seems to be writing a third installment that will be released sometime in 2023. I am happy that I found this series. It is action packed, and it twists a bit of romance in between some emotional scenes.
