The first book from LA Times Book Prize and Printz Honor winner A.S. King–a witty, snarky tale of love and family, revenge and reincarnation, and pirates.

In the late seventeenth century, famed teenage pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of escaping the pirate life with her one true love and unfathomable riches when she was slain and cursed with “the dust of one hundred dogs,” dooming her to one hundred lives as a dog before returning to a human body-with her memories intact.
Now she’s a contemporary American teenager and all she needs to escape her no-good family and establish a luxurious life of her own is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica…

“Pirates, reincarnation, dogs, teenage angst, a romance that spans the centuries, magic, treasure–all are wrapped up inside a fun Goth cover. . . “–SLJ

“An undeniably original book.”–Booklist

“King weaves an unusual and astounding story from these disparate premises…A remarkable and compelling story for readers seeking something out of the ordinary.”–VOYA

“An intricate and sometimes very funny story. The character of Saffron is the embodiment of an escapist fantasy.” —The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star

“Exciting, fascinating, spellbinding. I’d follow Saffron into the briny deep.”-Heather Brewer, author of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod

“A non-traditional pirate tale with a dangerously raw, mystical edge and a unique modern twist. Deliciously fresh and starkly unforgettable.”-Lisa McMann, New York Times best-selling author of Wake

“Sparkling, original, both swashbuckling and contemporary…This gripping adventure is sure to be devoured by both teens and adults.”-Lauren Baratz-Logsted, author of Crazy Beautiful
