The sea had always sounded like breathing to Mara Vey.
That morning, it sounded as if it had stopped.
On the Day of Safe Shores, the water withdraws from Veymar's harbor. The city calls it a miracle. Mara Vey knows better. She is the daughter of a traitor - a tide-reader born to a man the crown hanged for betraying Nareth's sea routes. And when the tide finally returns, it carries a secret the kingdom drowned long ago.
To save her brother, Mara must do the one thing she was raised to fear: trust the prince she was forced to marry. Caelen wears a vow written in salt and guards a kingdom built on lies. And the only thing more dangerous than the crown he offers her is the oathmark burning beneath her ribs - a power that lays bare every stolen promise it touches, and weaves her deeper into the crown with every oath she breaks.
The woman who holds Veymar's throne wants Mara to speak the seventh vow. Mara intends to give her something else entirely.
Some promises are made to bind. Others are made to break.
A standalone fantasy romance of forbidden vows, forced marriage, and drowned kingdoms - for readers who love enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn romance, and magic systems with a cost.
