"Witch of the Demon Seas" by A. A. Craig is a fantasy novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around Corun, a pirate condemned to death who finds himself entwined with powerful sorcery and an ambitious witch named Chryseis. Together with a sorcerer and a formidable crew, Corun embarks on a perilous quest to harness the powers of the elusive Xanthi, the Sea Demons, while facing betrayal and intrigue that could change the fate of kingdoms. The beginning of the novel introduces Corun, a proud pirate captured by King Khroman and facing execution, when he is offered a chance at life by the sorcerous duo Shorzon and Chryseis. They propose a dangerous plan to confront the terrifying Xanthi in hopes of gaining their aid to overthrow Achaerea. Corun grapples with his tumultuous feelings for Chryseis as he navigates a treacherous alliance forged in darkness and ambition. As the plot unfolds, tensions rise, leading to imminent confrontations with enemies both external and internal, setting the stage for an epic struggle of magic and will.
