“This intoxicating story blends old-world magic and modern-day mystery with a delicious dash of amore.” —People

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.

This book was difficult to get into. Its a split timeline book with one story set in the present and the other in the past which slows down overall story progression. But once aspects of the two stories begin to overlap it becomes addicting. My initial rating for this was going to just be 3⭐️, but with each twist and revelation the more I came to love it. Even if doesn't seem like you cup of tea when starting out I highly recommend pushing through cause its worth it.
