Salt Heart

Fleeing Spain with her family, Leila is captured by pirates and thrown into a world of danger, strategy and revenge. Using her astrology skills, quick wit and talent for navigation, she gradually earns the respect of the corsairs who hold her captive. When she is finally reunited with her family in Morocco, Leila must choose between accepting the safe, respectable life she was raised for, or fighting for a future of love, danger and revenge on the open sea.

Based on the early life of Sayyida Al Hurra, noblewoman, governor and pirate.
