Every month, the kingdom celebrates. Every month, someone dies.
In a sea-bound empire ruled by velvet masks and bloodied secrets, Meris attends the king's royal balls not for the music, but for murder.
One by one, she's eliminating the eleven men who sentenced her innocent sister to death - powerful advisors who dance beneath chandeliers, unaware they're marked for vengeance.
But when her next target is Eiran, the king's cold and brilliant second-in-command, things go wrong. He's been assigned to find the killer... and he's getting too close. To the truth. To her.
And to something she never expected - feelings.

Saltblood and Silence
Four years after the storm. Queen Emma Swan rules a fragile Enchanted Forest rebuilt from ashes-but she rules alone. The Pirate Queen who saved her vanished into the mist without a word. In her place come emissaries: eleven powerful figures from fallen kingdoms, all loyal to a ghost. Each brings their own resources, secrets, and debts-answering not to Emma, but to Regina. While Emma navigates a world shaped by someone else's empire, the Ravager sails on. Far across the seas, a stowaway child-Rag-sneaks aboard one of Regina's shadow ships, dreaming of freedom and pirate glory. Instead, Rag is broken down, beaten, and forged in salt and labor under the brutal hands of the crew. What begins as punishment becomes survival, and what survives begins to learn. As whispers rise of assassinations among the emissaries, Emma digs deeper into the Queen's web. She uncovers a hidden empire built over thirty-five years: former prisoners, now nobles and ministers. Survivors of Regina's ship, released with new names and silent vows. She was not the first. And she may not be the last. When one of the emissaries is murdered, the tides shift. The Ravager returns to Hollowdeep, an underwater fortress carved in silence and magic. And the Pirate Queen rises again-cursed, burning, and merciless. Old wounds open. Loyalties crack. Emma must face the truth: the empire Regina built might be the only thing keeping their world from collapsing. But can she forgive the woman who made her a weapon? Can she lead beside her, or must she defy her? And somewhere in the fog, the stowaway watches it all-still nameless, still unknown-waiting for a place to belong.

Bound by the Sea
The sea gave her freedom. The sea took it away. Lyriana of the Coral Court has always belonged to the ocean-fierce, wild, and untamable. But when her mother, the Sea Queen, orders her to marry a prince she doesn't love, Lyriana flees her kingdom in search of her own destiny. She dreams of freedom beyond duty and thrones, but freedom comes with a price. Caught in a storm above the reef, Lyriana is trapped in a fisherman's net and dragged aboard the Sea Serpent, a pirate ship commanded by Captain Rowan Blackthorn-a man known across kingdoms for chasing legends, not obeying laws. Fierce, clever, and haunted by secrets of his own, Rowan sees in Lyriana not a monster to fear but a mystery to claim. Imprisoned far from the water that gives her life, Lyriana must fight to survive among men who see her as treasure, a weapon, or a curse. But as she learns more about Rowan, she discovers he's searching for something deeper than gold-something the sea itself may have hidden. As their worlds collide, old myths rise again. Curses stir beneath the waves. A power older than both sea and sky begins to awaken. Torn between hatred and a strange pull toward her captor, Lyriana faces an impossible choice: Escape back to the sea and abandon everything she's begun to feel... or risk her heart-and her freedom-to uncover the truth about the tides that bind them. Because some bonds aren't made by chains. They're made by the sea.
