A Wraith Beneath the Tides

Raised in secret by the sea's most feared pirate, Esmyra Blackwood knows nothing of her past or the origins of her mysterious powers. In the mortal kingdom, Draevyn Rowe is the second-born son of the tyrant king and the only known fire-wielder of their realm.

Their journeys collide when Esmyra kidnaps Draevyn to force a trade with the king for her captain's life. When her barter is refused, she is instead tasked with unearthing a kingdom lost a thousand years prior. Together, the two navigate a labyrinth of lies and secrets in search of the sunken kingdom.

With scheming gods and ancient rivalries at play, alliances will be forged and shattered, and both must decide who to trust and how far they will go for the ones they love. Esmyra will face a choice: does their world deserve salvation, or will she be its reckoning?
