Books Like A Jewel Bright Sea

The romance genre is known for books that push the envelope and mix the love story elements with danger, rebellion, and emotional intensity. This is especially noticeable in the fantasy category of romance novels, where very little is off-limits. A popular niche in fantasy romance is pirates, where the heroines find their adventure and escape after crossing paths with rebellious, roguish anti-heroes. For example, in A Jewel Bright Sea by Claire O’Dell, the protagonist Anna Zhadanov is a scholar’s daughter sold as a bond servant. Her talent for tracking magic gets her sent on a mission to catch a thief while under the guise of being an indolent noblewoman. However, her mission takes a different turn when she is captured by the unpredictable pirate captain Andreas.
