Goodreads Synopsis
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, first mate Riden is a constant distraction, but now he's under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will soon 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. Despite the danger, Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first . . . after all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.
After succeeding in her aim to gather the three pieces of the map, Alosa is ready to travel to the mysterious island and seek out her mother's treasure. However, she soon discovers her father has been lying to her, and after angering him, Alosa and her crew need to flee and hope to arrive at the isle before her father's fleet catches up to them. Alosa worries that everything she once believed in was false, and that her siren side may overpower her human nature.
I'm glad I had this book to read straight after Daughter of the Pirate King. We pick up the action not long after the first book ends, and Alosa is now back in control of her own ship, with a few new crew members. She wants revenge against Vordan, and seeks out his piece of the map, thinking that by doing so, her father will be pleased. But even after she's done that, her father isn't supportive, and Alosa learns that he's kept bigger secrets from her than she could ever have imagined. I loved that she really developed a backbone here, and stood up against her father. It wasn't easy, and there were losses along the way, but Alosa had her crew, and Riden, there to support her. The ending of the book was the perfect way to finish the series, though I have noticed that apparently there will be a companion book released some time in 2023. Hopefully Alosa and Riden make an appearance.
