Powerful witchcraft. A hunt for sunken treasure. Forbidden love on the high seas. Beware the Amalfi Curse…

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?

As Haven searches for her father’s sunken treasure, she begins to unearth a centuries-old tale of ancient sorcery and one woman’s quest to save her lover and her village by using the legendary art of stregheria, a magical ability to harness the ocean. Could this magic be behind Positano’s latest calamities? Haven must 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.

Italy, pirates, forbidden love, buried treasure. All the things!

Set in Positano, Italy, this dual-timeline story from 1821 and the modern day combines mystery, romance, and Italian folklore. It features forbidden love, pirates, buried treasure, and family secrets. A group of women practices “stregheria,” ancient witchcraft, to manipulate the ocean and break a curse. Both timelines are emotionally rich and mysterious, with the modern plot revealing truths hidden beneath the sea and the past. Fans of magical, atmospheric stories will enjoy this book. The narrators did a fantastic job!
