A spellbinding romantic fantasy about a powerful witch who will do anything to escape the remote island she's being held captive on, including blackmail a notorious, charming pirate who washes up on shore. ROSALINDA is trapped on Sinner's Isle, an island filled with Majestics like her-beautiful witches loathed by society for their dangerous magic yet revered by powerful men who want to exploit them. Now eighteen, Rosa will be the prize commodity at this year's Offering, a fiesta for the wealthy to engage in drink, damsels, and debauchery. That is why she decides to flee-before someone forces the vicious phantoms within her to destroy everything she touches. Handsome, swashbuckling MARIANO has long sailed the high seas as the Prince of Pirates. After the king's fleet attacks his father's infamous ship, Mariano is marooned on Sinner's Isle with only an enchanted chain meant to lead him to his heart's desire. Instead, he finds a brazen-but bewitching-headache- Rosa. Mariano and Rosa must now outwit each other and their enemies before the Offering is over and it's too late to escape the perils of Sinner's Isle.
