Vengeance of the Pirate Queen

In Vengeance of the Pirate Queen, a standalone YA fantasy romance by Tricia Levenseller, 18-year-old assassin Sorinda is unexpectedly tasked by the pirate queen Alosa to captain a rescue mission rather than eliminate a target. Navigating the challenges of her handpicked crew, she finds herself frequently at odds with her talented yet frustrating helmsman, Kearan. As they confront perilous seas and sinister creatures, a dangerous encounter awakens the King of the Undersea, forcing Sorinda to battle not only for her mission but also for her own survival against the undead.
