Tides of Vengeance

They told you mermaids were beautiful. They never told you what beauty does when it's cornered.

She was sent to kill the monster who rules the drowned sea. She wasn't supposed to fall for him.

For three hundred years, the tides have belonged to Kael-the cold-blooded king of a kingdom beneath the waves, a creature of frost and ruin who feels nothing and forgives less.

Calla was raised for one purpose: end his reign. But when she's delivered to his court as a prisoner, the assassin and the monster king are forced closer than either can survive. Closer than either can resist.

He should be her enemy. He is her enemy.

So why does the cold king look at her like she's the only warmth left in his world?

As ancient enemies circle and a war older than memory claws back to the surface, Calla must choose between the oath that made her-and the monster who is slowly, ruinously, becoming her undoing.

But the sea always takes what it's owed. And some debts can only be paid in blood.

Tides of Vengeance is the first book in The Drowned Kingdoms, a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dark mermaid romantasy perfect for readers of From Blood and Ash, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and The Serpent & the Wings of Night.
