The Sea Witch

Alys Tanner is condemned as a witch in Puritanical New England, a place where women are forbidden to use magic. She flees on a stolen ship and becomes captain of an all-female pirate crew who wield sorcery, with the British navy in pursuit.

When naval navigator Ben Priestley is captured, he and Alys form a reluctant partnership to turn the tide against the navy. Their mistrust gradually turns to desire in this historical fantasy romance on the Caribbean high seas. The Sea Witch is the first book in Eva Leigh's Salt & Sorcery series.
