The Tides Beneath Us

Five mercenaries.
One shattered relic.
And a sea that does not forgive.

Maren Vey is used to working alone. As one of the most sought-after pirate mercenaries on the Fractured Seas, she knows the rules: take the job, claim the prize, and never trust the competition.

But when a routine retrieval mission goes catastrophically wrong, Maren and four rival mercenaries trigger the ancient artifact they were sent to steal.

Now the relic is gone.

Because it's inside them.

Marked by unstable, otherworldly powers-and bound together by the very thing that was supposed to make them rich-the five are suddenly the most valuable prey on the ocean. Their former employers want the artifact back. The Navy wants them contained. And something older than both has begun to stir beneath the waves.

Forced into an uneasy alliance aboard a stolen ship, the volatile crew must outrun hunters, survive the growing danger of their own abilities, and uncover the truth of what they've become... before the sea itself comes to collect its due.

Because in these waters, power always demands a price.

And there is no honor among tides.
