Publisher's Summary

From award-winning author E. J. Mellow comes the thrilling second installment in the Mousai series, featuring a powerful sorceress who finds her loyalties tested by a ruthless pirate lord.

Within the world of Aadilor, there is a hidden place called the Thief Kingdom, where both magic and pleasure abound. There, the Mousai, a trio of deadly sorceresses bound by oath and blood, use their powers to protect the kingdom’s treasures. 

Niya Bassette brings the potent gift of dance to the Mousai, but behind her tempting twirls, she carries a heavy secret - that the infamous pirate lord, Alōs Ezra, has been threatening to exploit for years. Now banished from the Thief Kingdom for smuggling, Alōs resurfaces in Niya’s life with a plot to hold her hostage, leveraging what he knows to extort a pardon from the Thief King. 

But Niya makes her own deal with Alōs to guard her secret and guarantee her freedom - yet in doing so binds herself aboard his pirate ship, where she must navigate deadly waters, a bloodthirsty crew, and her own traitorous heart. Soon, a simmering attraction between her and Alōs threatens their delicate truce and makes for a tumultuous ride on the open seas. Far from her kingdom, Niya is entangled in a dangerous dance indeed.

Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where dark deeds can mask noble hearts and the most alluring of sways often ends with a burn. Care for a spin?

Critic Reviews

“The pace of the novel is fast from the first page, with a little bit of romance and adventure rolled into the plot. Fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies will enjoy this series.”Booklist

“A magical tale of love, honor, and family. E.J. Mellow sweeps the reader away to a wonderfully imaginative world, with characters as colorful and entrancing as the vivid locales they travel to. Dance of a Burning Sea is a perfectly titled seafaring epic fantasy that’s spellbinding from start to finish.”—Rob Samborn, author of The Prisoner of Paradise

Great performance

I'm quite unsure how to write my review. Fantastic performance and well written with a creative storyline.
The relationship between the two main characters made me uncomfortable to say the least. It was toxic and abusive despite his excuses for his behaviour. Very reminiscent of real life abusers. It disappointed me that this book continued the awful age-old saying - "if he's mean to you, he likes you".
Loved the first book, and can't wait for the next one.
This, however, will be the thorn between two roses.

A good book to work to

Hmmm…. This was an enjoyable book. Predictable in places, but interesting. The author mentions, but completely fails to show, how awful pirates are. In this book they a merely fearsome rouges. My only real objection was that the male lead was so thoroughly dislikable for much of the book, his reasons put aside. The heroine is also a bit of a ditz, but she is only a spoilt 21, so completely understandable. It gives both characters a lot of room for growth.

In all it was an enjoyable read. The male narrator had a little more fluidity than the female, but both were quite good.
