  Amora Montara is princess of the island nation of Visidia, and she will be its queen; it is not only her birthright, but also a role she must perform because of a deadly, unstable type of magic that only her bloodline can access. But when she violently loses control of her magic, her people turn against her. She escapes only because of a smooth-talking pirate named Bastian, who has an agenda of his own. On his ship, the Keel Haul, Bastian and Amora strike a deal: she'll help him reclaim his lost magic, and he'll help her take back her throne. But first, they'll ally with powerful mermaids, battle sea monsters, and contend with the fiancé Amora never wanted, who is determined to accompany them. As Amora sees more of the land she means to rule, she questions everything she thought she knew. Breathtakingly adventurous, this debut is ambitious in its world building and alluring in its characterizations. There's a lot here that will appeal to fantasy readers, and an open ending will leave them hungry for the sequel. Grades 9-12. Copyright 2020 Booklist Reviews.
