Book Summary:
A nautical archaeologist searching
for sunken treasure in Positano unearths a centuries-old curse, powerful
witchcraft, and perilous love on the high seas in this spellbinding new novel
from the New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary—perfect for fans of The Familiar and The
Cloisters.
Haven Ambrose, a trailblazing
nautical archaeologist, has come to the sun-soaked village of Positano to
investigate the mysterious shipwrecks along the Amalfi Coast. But Haven is
hoping to find more than old artifacts beneath the azure waters; she is
secretly on a quest to locate a trove of priceless gemstones her late father
spotted on his final dive. Upon Haven’s arrival, strange maelstroms and
misfortunes start plaguing the town. Is it nature, or something more sinister
at work?
In 1821, Mari DeLuca and the women
of her village practice the legendary art of stregheria, a magical ability to harness the power of the ocean. As
their leader, Mari protects Positano with her witchcraft, but she has been
plotting to run away with her lover, Holmes – a sailor aboard a merchant ship
owned by the nefarious Mazza brothers, known for their greed and brutality.
When the Mazzas learn about the women of Positano, they devise a plan to kidnap
several of Mari’s friends. With her fellow witches and her village in danger –
and Holmes’s life threatened by his connection to the most feared woman in
Positano – Mari is forced to choose between the safety of her people and the
man she loves.
As Haven searches for her father’s
sunken treasure, she begins to unearth a tale of perilous love and powerful
sorcery. Can she unravel the Amalfi Curse before the region is destroyed
forever? Against the dazzling backdrop of the Amalfi Coast, this bewitching
novel shimmers with mystery, romance, and the untamed magic of the sea.
