Crown of Salt

The sea remembers. The crown does not forgive. Crown of Salt is a lush, emotionally charged romantasy perfect for fans of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, To Bleed a Crystal Bloom, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night.

In the sinking kingdom of Veyemere, where magic is carved in salt and the sins of the past still ripple through the tides, a reluctant queen is forced into a brutal, ancient marriage to a sea-born creature bent on revenge. Mireya never wanted the crown-or the blood-soaked covenant that comes with it. But as storms swallow cities and ancient magic unravels, she must bind herself to Ruvan, the last of the Tidesworn, to survive. Scarred by betrayal and shaped by vengeance, Ruvan has no interest in saving the realm that ruined his people. Together, they must navigate courtly treachery, rising monsters, and a truth more dangerous than any curse: the only way to save their people may be to destroy the kingdom itself. Bound by magic, hunted by the past, and drawn to each other against their will, Mireya and Ruvan face an impossible choice-rebuild what was broken, or let it all drown.

With rich worldbuilding, slow-burn romance, and a magic system that leaves lasting scars, Crown of Salt is an unforgettable story of sacrifice, survival, and choosing love even when it hurts.

Exclusive to the print edition: Step deeper into the world of Veyemere with immersive bonus content, including photos, symbolic Tidesworn markings, ancient language translations, and hidden lore from the sea. Perfect for collectors and romantasy lovers who want more than just a story-they want an experience.
