Synopsis

Get ready to be swept away. An irresistible YA romantasy – perfect for fans of Alexandra Christo, Sarah Underwood and Shelby Mahurin

Romance. Betrayal. Magic. The YA debut of 2024.

Mira is a wrecker, one of the seven chosen to swim out and plunder the wrecked ships beyond the Isle of Rosevear. The waves seem to sing to her soul, the call of the sea beckoning her into deeper waters. But Rosevear needs her, and she could never abandon her home. Until one evening when lightning splits the sky and the Watch descend, taking Mira’s father away.

Mira needs handsome stranger Seth to help her find a way to buy back her father’s freedom. But on the journey she will need to learn who to trust – Seth is hiding something behind those enigmatic eyes, there’s a family secret buried deep in the ocean and shadowy stranger Elijah is offering Mira a dark bargain. Securing her own future, and that of her island, will come at a high price.
