For readers who love mythical creatures, fated love, powerful magic, fiercely protective heroes, impossible choices, and epic romances that hurt before they heal.
Sent across the sea for an arranged marriage to secure her kingdom’s destiny, Calista’s fate was already decided. Until a violent storm tears her ship apart, ancient creatures rise from the depths to claim the wreckage. One by one, everyone is dragged screaming beneath the waves until silence remains… and Calista is left with two choices.
Drown on her own terms. Or be taken.
Tyrian, heir to the kingdom of Velmara, is a creature of the deep. Feared. Ruthless. A predator who hunts humans, dragging survivors into the dark without mercy and savoring every kill that feeds his power. Until her.
The moment he finds Calista, and the instinct to kill vanishes, unraveling beneath a pull he cannot explain. Instead of claiming her life, he does the unthinkable.
He saves her.
Taken to Velmara, Calista expects chains and cruelty. Instead, she finds something far more dangerous: the truth. About the creatures she was raised to fear. About the kingdom that thrives between land and water. About herself.
Because something inside her is waking, a power she never knew she had.
A ruthless prince across the sea will stop at nothing to reclaim what he believes is his. A watchful siren queen lingers in the depths, waiting for her moment to strike. And in Velmara, where strength and power are everything, Calista’s presence threatens to unravel far more than she understands.
As enemies close in and truths unravel, the closer she gets to Tyrian, the deeper she falls. And the more she lets herself fall, the more she realizes: Some loves are worth everything. Even if they cost you everything in return.
