A cursed pirate. A forsaken selkie. And a prophecy that could drown the world.

Cursed by the sins of his ancestor, pirate captain Cillian Blackwell was never meant to outrun his fate. The blood of the man who led the selkie massacre stains his lineage, and the Selkie King demands vengeance. But when a dying seer whispers of a lost trident—the Trídean na Fáistineach and the key to breaking his fate—Cillian sets sail on a new course for freedom. His biggest challenge? Convincing a selkie to help him.  

Saoirse, daughter of the Selkie King, is bound to human form as punishment for her sins and has spent centuries searching for a way to reclaim her lost skin. So when a rogue pirate asks for her help to locate a lost trident that has the power to reforge her skin, she agrees to help him.

As they sail treacherous waters together, an undeniable fire sparks between them, and the pull of desire is soon as inescapable as the tide—until Saoirse learns Cillian is the descendant of the very man who slaughtered her people and stole her future. But before she can break their covenant, an ancient prophecy catches them in its net….

Betrayal wars with longing. Destiny collides with vengeance. And as desire tangles with fate, Cillian and Saoirse must decide to drown together or be torn apart by the abyss.

He is born of legacy. She is bred in betrayal. On the dark waves, power is claimed by blood or prophecy—or drowned by both.

Juliette Chadwick Jaymes rules the North Sea with steel and cunning, but her legendary bloodline lies in ruin, slaughtered over a map leading to a treasure shrouded in secrets. Sold to the Krakenking and bound to his will, she is forced to command his warship and chase a relic powerful enough to bend the seas to his command. To avenge and restore her family’s feared name—or vanish like a whisper on the winds—Juliette must navigate a maelstrom of deception, where vengeance is tangled in betrayal and every alliance is a risk.

Viktor Bloodfang, South Sea pirate king, carries a legacy drenched in cruelty and a stolen treasure of the gods—both as cursed as the tides he commands. For generations, the Bloodfangs have guarded the secret treasure, shackled by the price of their ancestor’s dominance. But the Krakenking uncovered the truth, seized the Bloodfang fleet, and forced Viktor on a perilous quest to retrieve the treasure that doomed his ancestors. If he fails, he dies. If he succeeds, the seas will never be the same.

Thrown together by fate and hunted by forces beyond their control, Juliette and Viktor find in each other an unexpected ally—and a dangerous temptation. But with curses whispered on the wind and power hanging by a thread, they know love is a luxury—and a weakness—they cannot afford. Together, they must race against time to unravel the mysteries of the great treasure sought by all—a treasure that could free them or doom them to ruin.

She cannot trust that mercy will find her in the form of a kind-hearted buyer. She must run, must reach her grandmother—the one person who holds the key to unraveling the mystery that haunts her bloodline.

But she isn’t the only prisoner with something to lose. In the shadows of the dungeon, Max waits. Cursed like the rest of his kin, his fate is entwined with hers in ways neither of them yet understand. He helps her flee, though she resents his interference. He swears to follow her to the journey’s end—then take her home. But Juniper is not easily tamed, and he is beginning to realize that she may hold the answers his own family has sought for generations.

But Juniper's vengeful ex hunts her across the seas. The eerie tick-tick-tick of his enchanted wristwatch is the only warning before he strikes—a sound that chills even the bravest hearts. Having bartered his humanity for the monstrous power of the crocodile, he will stop at nothing to reclaim what he believes is his.

As Juniper and Max's story unfolds, they learn that some battles cannot be fought alone. Some destinies can only be fulfilled together. And some hearts, once touched by true love, are forever bound—a tale of adventure, fate, and the kind of love that even the sea cannot wash away.

As a pirate captain, Spark prefers burglary over robbery, stealing from powerful merchants in search of the truth behind his father’s death and his family’s demise. Though his grand thefts have always been fruitful, the loot can only pacify his bloodthirsty crew for so long.

A regular stowaway on ships, Brynne hops from one crew to another, searching for a lost object that can undo the curse that has plagued her homeland and the man that’s responsible for the curse.

When she discovers Spark’s plan to reach the islands of the myths, her homeland, Brynne offers him a partnership he can’t refuse.

Hiding their plans and schemes from each other, Spark and Brynne navigate through tempests, treacherous waters, and monsters. Even as each fortifies walls around their hearts, Spark and Brynne find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. But when they finally reach their destination, Brynne vanishes without a trace, leaving the treasure lost and Spark at a crossroads. With his crew’s patience waning, Spark must decide whether to chase the elusive treasure, avenge his father, or unravel the secrets of the woman who stole his heart.
