THE TIDEBREAKER'S OATH

She reads the dead like stone. She was never meant to survive.
Eighteen years ago, the kingdom of Merravia drowned in a single night. Kael Vane was six when the sea took her island-the only child to surface, pulled into the arms of a pirate captain who has never once told her what he pulled from the water.
Now she dives the drowned capital, reading its bones with her bare hands while the dead whisper her name. She learned to be small, quiet, forgettable-the one girl the Church of the Tide won't notice.
But the Church is hunting.
An Inquisitor with squall-grey eyes watches her like she's the answer to a question he's been asking all his life. And something ancient has slept in her ribs since she was six-a god's Voice that knows her name, knows what she is, and has waited eighteen years to be free.
The dead remember her.
The sea obeys her.
That doesn't set you free. It makes you a target.
THE TIDEBREAKER'S OATH is the first book in the Drowned Crown Saga-a dark, slow-burn romantasy of forbidden attraction, a drowned kingdom clawing its way back from the deep, and a girl who must decide whether she is the vessel of a god's hunger... or the queen the sea has been waiting for.
There are five crowns. She has only just begun. And the world is about to learn the Tidebreaker's name.
If you crave morally grey captains, a kiss stolen on a drowning beach, and bargains written in blood and salt-this is the book you've been hunting for.
