A daughter is worth little in the world of Kings.
That's why Elowyn Blackthorn's father, the King of Oakhaven, executed her mother, stripped Elowyn of her titles, and banished her to a forgotten mountain estate. That's also why she is being sent across the sea to marry a man she does not love. She wanted to make her mark on her kingdom, but instead her father sees her only as a bargaining chip.
But the ocean has plans of its own.
When her ship is seized by sirens, Elowyn, along with the stalwart Captain Arlo and his crew, is taken to Naiadon, the castle below the sea. Hylos, the young King Regent, believes her arrival is a sign from the Guardians themselves, a divine answer to the mystery of his people's vanishing kin. She alone could help him win the war he plans to wage on Oakhaven. As Elowyn learns of the sirens' plight, she must grapple with her loyalty to a country that betrayed her, and her growing connection to the ocean's inhabitants, all while fighting her attraction to the handsome captain she is falling for, with secrets of his own.
Caught between land and sea, duty and freedom, logic and love, Elowyn must choose where her heart truly belongs.
Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her.
After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has.
Fate, however, is not on her side.
A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious.
That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind.
