A Wraith Beneath the Tides

About this book

Esmyra Blackwood is a woman of mystery, raised in the shadows by the sea’s most feared pirate and burdened with strange, latent powers she barely understands. Her life of piracy takes a desperate turn when she kidnaps Draevyn Rowe, the second-born son of a tyrannical king and the realm’s only known fire-wielder. Esmyra’s goal is simple: use the prince as leverage to secure her captain's freedom. However, when the king cruelly refuses to bargain, the kidnapper and her hostage are forced into an unlikely alliance. Tasked with unearthing a lost kingdom submerged for a thousand years, Esmyra and Draevyn must navigate a treacherous labyrinth of ancient secrets and shifting loyalties. As they venture deeper into the unknown, they find themselves entangled in a web of divine interference and cutthroat politics. Featuring an enemies-to-lovers dynamic fueled by sharp banter and intense slow-burn tension, *A Wraith Beneath the Tides* is a high-stakes fantasy adventure. With gods plotting in the wings and their own hearts on the line, Esmyra and Draevyn must decide what they are truly willing to sacrifice. In a world where trust is a liability, Esmyra faces a haunting ultimatum: save their fractured realm or become its ultimate reckoning.
