A princess. A pirate. A doomed kingdom.


Cali’s people are dying of a terrible disease. When she seeks help from the magic lands across the ocean, she unwittingly finds herself in the middle of a conflict between that kingdom and the pirates who are trying to seize it.

In order to obtain the cure, Cali must marry the pirate king’s devilish son in another princess’s place. She agrees, only to make the mistake of falling hard for the roguish pirate she's been forced to keep so many secrets from.

Soon, he'll discover she's not who he thinks she is...and there's no telling what might happen once he does.

If you like the tension of Daughter of the Pirate King and the dark enchantment of Caraval, then you'll devour this heart-pounding, imaginative escape.

From the Inside Flap

This was so opposite from the side of him he'd shown her. He'd been kindness and civility while indulging in her games, escorting her to magical, midnight gardens. This was another part of him. This was the pirate, not the gentleman.

This is book one of the Curse of the Pirate series. It’s an enemies-to-lovers pirate fantasy romance. Hints of fairy tales woven throughout the story line. Great book! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention. The world building is detailed and imaginative. This book has strong, well-developed characters, an interesting story line full of suspense, danger, action, mystery, unexpected twists, and an ending that left me wanting to read the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed this book, it was so full of adventure, and heroism. Learning just how far Princess Cali will go to save her people, what sacrifices she will make & what lessons she will learn along the way.

But what happens when all you thought you knew was a lie?

When you make one last sacrifice and you lose something dear to you in the process.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

3.0 out of 5 stars Looking forward to the next book!
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2019
Princess of Death was an interesting read with a unique story. The ending left such a cliffhanger that I can't wait to get started on the next installment. My favorite aspect of the story was the world that was created. I loved how both Kingdoms of Zara and Lunae Lumen differed so much from each other. The author did a great job describing both and emphasizing the differences in the descriptions. I also really loved The Undine and the magic and mystery that surrounded her. It was pretty interesting to see the varying opinions of her from different characters.

Although I enjoyed the story, I didn't care much at all for the main character Princess Caliana. She wasn't very relatable and she seemed sort of bland. I really liked the other characters in the book, with Bae being my favorite, I just didn't think Cali was very likeable. I also felt that the beginning of the story progressed way too fast. Everything moved so quickly in the beginning and Cali seemed to find the answers to each obstacle instantly without much difficulty. The first 1/4 of the book was like this, but once that passed, the story slowed down and that's when I began to really enjoy it. It seemed to really develop after that point and it grew much more interesting.

The ending was great and with how things ended, I'm really excited to see what happens in the next book! Tournament of Power has a lot of potential and I can't wait to see what is in store for the princesses.

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Princess of Death, the first book in the Curse of the Pirate series by Cortney Pearson, is a thrilling and enchanting fantasy tale that transports readers to a world where danger lurks at every turn and trust is a precious commodity.

Cali, the protagonist, finds herself facing a devastating plague that threatens her people's lives. In a desperate bid to save them, she must venture into a mysterious and perilous land filled with magic. Upon her arrival, Cali discovers an uncanny resemblance to the princess of this realm, and with war on the horizon, she is thrust into a dangerous alliance between the pirate king and the princess Soraya.

Forced to take Soraya's place and meet the pirate king's demands, Cali embarks on a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. As she navigates the treacherous waters of the pirate's world, she is torn between her mission to save her people and the feelings that begin to blossom between her and the brooding pirate.

Cortney Pearson's vivid storytelling transports readers to a realm where magic and treachery intertwine. The world-building is immersive, capturing the reader's imagination and creating a rich backdrop for the unfolding events. Cali's journey is fraught with danger, and the tension is palpable as she grapples with her trust in the pirate and the choices she must make to ensure her people's survival.

The characters in Princess of Death are well-developed and engaging. Cali's determination and strength shine through as she faces the perils of the pirate's world and fights to protect those she loves. The interactions between Cali and the pirate king's son are filled with chemistry and intrigue, adding depth to the story and keeping readers captivated.

Cortney Pearson's writing style is engaging and fluid, seamlessly blending action, romance, and magic. The pacing is brisk, keeping readers on the edge of their seats and eagerly turning the pages to unravel the mysteries of this captivating world.

Princess of Death is a compelling start to the Curse of the Pirate series, promising an enthralling adventure filled with twists, romance, and the battle between good and evil. Fans of fantasy and pirate tales will be swept away by this enchanting story, eagerly awaiting the next installment in Cortney Pearson's spellbinding series.
