Description
—Emilia Hart, New York Times bestselling author of Weyward
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.

The Amalfi Curse
Pure genius! Penner has outdone herself with her third novel. She takes magical realism to a whole to depth, leagues under the sea. Sarah’s words are a breathtaking treasure that will captivate the imagination of readers and pull their heartstrings.

Sarah Penner, I owe you.
Have you ever read a book outside of your comfort zone genres, and you loved it and opened your mind to reading more widely?
The Lost Apothecary was one of those books, and so was The London Seance Society. Sarah Penner has done it again with The Amalfi Curse.
The Amalfi Curse mixes past and present, telling the story of the sea witches of Positano, one of the sailors who loves one of them and in the present Haven Ambrose a trailblazing nautical archaeologist eager to uncover the secrets of the shipwrecks off the Amalfi coast.
It’s not ‘one more chapter’ it’s ’three more chapters’ as you get increasingly desperate to read the next part of each thread…And when they start to come together then you’re truly sucked into the whirlpool.
It builds and builds, get better and better as it progresses and the plots twist and tighten.
If you’ve enjoyed Sarah Penner’s previous books you’ll love it. I didn’t think I’d be here recommending a book about 1820s sea witches but the enchanting magic in this book is inescapable.
Very highly recommended.
