Princess Becky Armstrong is a political pawn trapped in a gilded cage. On the eve of her wedding to the manipulative Lord Aran, she is drugged, betrayed, and sold to a ruthless privateer. Stripped of her crown and her freedom, she expects to die in the dark hold of a slave ship.
Instead, she is rescued by Captain Freen Chankimha, the notorious and charismatic pirate of The Midnight Tide.
Freen has no interest in royal politics or fragile princesses. But Becky is no damsel in distress. Fierce, stubborn, and brilliant, she challenges everything Freen believes about the nobility-and awakens a desire the guarded captain has spent years trying to bury. As they navigate the dangerous seas, a forbidden romance blossoms amidst sword-fighting lessons, stolen kisses, and late-night conversations under the stars.
But their fragile happiness is shattered when Lord Aran's fleet corners them. When Freen takes a poisoned blade meant for Becky, the princess makes a desperate choice. She dives into the abyssal depths and strikes a soul contract with an ancient sea witch, trading her humanity for the power to save the woman she loves.
As Becky transforms into a cold, terrifying siren-commanding storms, ice, and tentacles of black water-she risks losing herself completely to the darkness. To reclaim her kingdom and her soul, she must rely on the one person who still sees the woman beneath the monster.
Can Freen's love anchor her to her humanity, or will the dark pact drown them both?
