A captivating and swashbuckling romantasy for fans of DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING and TO KILL A KINGDOM.

Ximena Reale is certain of one thing: the only good pirate is a dead one.

Ximena has spent her life training to become one of the black-cloaked cazadores, seafaring hunters who capture the pirates pillaging the Luzan Empire. But although Ximena is the top candidate at la academia, that will not be enough for a daughter of the notorious Reales - pirate captains who were executed for their crimes against the Empire.

So when Gasparilla, the most infamous pirate in Luza's history, attacks the capital, Ximena offers to catch him in exchange for being named a cazadora. The Empire accepts, on one condition: she must compete for her cloak against Dante de León, the pompous and infuriating son of the High Minister.

Knowing this is her chance to prove herself once and for all, Ximena must set out on a dangerous quest across the archipelago to hunt Gasparilla. But no matter how far she sails, her family's pirate legacy continues to haunt her, and she soon has to question the very laws she's always fought to uphold . . .

  • Laura McToal
    4.0 out of 5 stars A Swashbuckling YA Fantasy with Strong Themes
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2025
    Format: Hardcover
    Capitana delivers exactly what you’d expect from a YA pirate fantasy—high-stakes adventure, a strong-willed protagonist, and a journey of self-discovery. Ximena’s struggle to reconcile the truth about her world with what she’s been taught is one of the book’s strongest elements, and I loved the combination of dark academia and nautical themes. The romance and competition subplot adds tension, though certain aspects felt predictable. The Spanish language integration felt a bit clunky at times, but overall, it’s an engaging, fast-paced read. Looking forward to seeing if the sequel expands on the magic system!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Good set up, poorly executed
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2025
    Format: Hardcover
    I really wanted to like this book! I loved the set up and the idea of La Academia, I liked that Ximena was struggling to rise through the ranks due to her parents' treason and her childhood. Sadly, this book never really lived up to its potential - the characters are poorly written and there is no real character development for Ximena in the story. We never really understand how she makes any of her decisions and there was zero chemistry between her and Dante. This whole novel was quite a disappointment - good starting ideas that never really went anywhere.
