"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 thatcould 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.
