Dance of a Burning Sea

Written by E.J. Mellow

Narrated by Madeline Lake and Nelson Hobbs

From award-winning author E. J. Mellow comes the thrilling second installment in the Mousai series, featuring a powerful sorceress who finds her loyalties tested by a ruthless pirate lord.

Within the world of Aadilor, there is a hidden place called the Thief Kingdom, where both magic and pleasure abound. There, the Mousai, a trio of deadly sorceresses bound by oath and blood, use their powers to protect the kingdom’s treasures.

Niya Bassette brings the potent gift of dance to the Mousai, but behind her tempting twirls, she carries a heavy secret—that the infamous pirate lord, Alōs Ezra, has been threatening to exploit for years. Now banished from the Thief Kingdom for smuggling, Alōs resurfaces in Niya’s life with a plot to hold her hostage, leveraging what he knows to extort a pardon from the Thief King.

But Niya makes her own deal with Alōs to guard her secret and guarantee her freedom—yet in doing so binds herself aboard his pirate ship, where she must navigate deadly waters, a bloodthirsty crew, and her own traitorous heart. Soon, a simmering attraction between her and Alōs threatens their delicate truce and makes for a tumultuous ride on the open seas. Far from her kingdom, Niya is entangled in a dangerous dance indeed.

Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where dark deeds can mask noble hearts and the most alluring of sways often ends with a burn. Care for a spin?

Reviews for Dance of a Burning Sea

[Charity · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The first book was amazing but this? This was phenomenal! I can not even begin to think how the next sisters book will top this.

Having a soft spot for Captain Hook and Jack Sparrow really paved the road for Alōs to be a favorite. I knew from his little appearance in the first he was a story I wanted and then seeing the synopsis for this I knew! Santa came early. *chef kiss*

Let's not let the "bad guy" overshadowed there is an equally bad ass girl in this. Our fire dancer, Niya. And E.J Mellow's writing had be just as entranced as Niya's dancing. I could paint every scene in my head perfectly as if I was there.... And I need more!!!

I beg of thee!! I know the next is for the eldest sister but PLEASEEEE I need more of fire and ice.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed in this one.

I LOVED the first one. And I was even more excited for this installment as it featured my favourite Bassette sister and Alos - the sexy pirate. Because of this fiesty duo I was expecting a lot of steaminess and the enemies-to-lovers trope - alas that was not the case. It was probably on par with the first book in regards to flirting and sex scenes.
The story as well just didn't vibe as much with me. I found myself a touch bored.
That being said I will still be reading the next one albiet with lower expectations in regards to chemistry.

I actually liked this book way more than the first one. It has pirates, it has powerful MC and it has giants. LOVED IT
