A Paste Magazine Most Anticipated Summer Romantasy
A Los Angeles Times Best Summer Romance Read
“A chaotic Pirates of the Caribbean-style story with a dash of romance and female rage is exactly what I need this summer.”—Paste Magazine
From a world where women are forbidden to use magic and the only freedom is found on the Caribbean high seas comes a swashbuckling romantasy from USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh.
Condemned as a witch, sentenced to die, Alys Tanner uses her innate magical power to flee Puritanical New England. Stealing a ship, Alys becomes captain of The Sea Witch, leading its all-female, sorcery-wielding pirate crew. But the colonial British navy is in hot pursuit. The navy fights for a choke hold on the Caribbean and will destroy anything they cannot control, especially witches.
When Ben Priestley, a headstrong naval navigator, is inadvertently captured by the lady pirates, dangerous truths are revealed. A quest that could turn the tides against the navy’s might ignites a reluctant partnership between the by-the-books prisoner and the fierce witch pirate captain. While they brave backstabbing pirates, perilous tropical islands and monster-filled seas, Alys and Ben’s mistrust grows into unexpected desire as they battle an enemy that will stop at nothing to rule the waves.

Praise for The Sea Witch
“A chaotic Pirates of the Caribbean-style story with a dash of romance and female rage is exactly what I need this summer, is all I’m saying.”—Paste Magazine, The Most Anticipated Romantasy Summer Books
"Unputdownable! Bold and addictive! An expertly woven tale of adventure and magic and steal-your-breath romance…as sexy as it is subversive."
—Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of A Fire in the Sky
"Leigh has penned a pirate romantasy with an ultra-hot relationship at its center."
—Los Angeles Times, Best Summer Romance Reads
"I loved sailing the high seas with the pirate crew of the Sea Witch in this phenomenal fantasy adventure! The Sea Witch is romantic, magical, feminist, and action-packed, with gorgeous worldbuilding and characters that leap off the page. The chemistry between Ben and Alys is electric, the quest they’re on is thrilling, and Leigh’s writing is so vivid I could practically smell the sea air. This is a stunning pirate romantasy, and I can’t wait for the next installment."
