One year after defeating the corrupted Maelstrom, Elaria flourishes under the reign of King Alistair and Queen Elara. United by love and destiny, they've brought peace to a once-fractured realm-bridging nobility and magic, forging alliances, and preparing for a future filled with hope. But just as celebration fills the capital's skies, a new threat rises from the shadows of the Ancient Bridge. Whispers of a growing disturbance at the edges of the world stir ancient powers best left undisturbed. A primordial force, older than legend, awakens-and its conspiracy spans far beyond Elaria's borders. To protect everything they've built, Alistair and Elara must unite the fractured races of Fae, Dwarf, Dragonkin, and Elf-and confront secrets buried since the dawn of creation. In this sweeping continuation of the Magicbound Chronicles love becomes a weapon, and destiny takes flight.

Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him. As Isla and her crew are pushed to their limits and race against their deadline, Isla has to face that the one decision she thought would save her crew could be the very thing that destroys them.

And she has a secret the Emperor is desperate to uncover. The lone survivor of a raid by the elite cohort known as the Raptors, Jayza is taken prisoner and sent on a journey that will ultimately deliver her to the Emperor's dungeons. But the secret the Emperor seeks is not the only one Jayza has. Jayza is a Desert Siren, a woman who can sing animals to sleep. Who can divert storms with a song. And who can kill with just her voice. And if that knowledge ever reaches the Emperor's ears, her life as she knows it is it over. But Jayza has other secrets as well.
