Xiang is desperate to prove herself to her mother, a well-esteemed businesswoman from whom she hopes to one day inherit her business. Her mother, however, has other plans for her, and begins searching for a suitable husband for Xiang. All Xiang has of her father is the pendant that hangs around her neck, which is later revealed to have a long-lost map tucked inside. She goes with Anh and her crew to search for the legendary treasure, once thought to be lost forever.

Spoilers ahead!

I had a lot of fun reading this book, though quite a few plot points were predictable, Xiang’s mother being the Head of the Dragon being the biggest one. Still, I really enjoyed seeing Xiang jump into pirate life. I also loved Xiang’s relationship with Anh and seeing that develop, especially since they started off on a bad note with Anh stealing Xiang’s pendant!
