When Amora's demonstration of her inherited soul magic catastrophically fails, she's forced to strike an unexpected bargain with a mysterious pirate named Bastian—he'll help her reclaim her rightful place as heir if she helps him recover his stolen magic. What begins as a transactional alliance becomes an thrilling adventure across treacherous seas, where they'll face legendary monsters, navigate the wrath of vengeful mermaids, and confront a dangerous new magic threatening to unravel the kingdom. With the stakes impossibly high and her crown hanging in the balance, Amora must decide what she's truly willing to sacrifice to save Visidia. It's an enchanting tale of magic, danger, and unexpected connections that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
Reading soundtrack
Ethereal yet tense ocean-tinged fantasy with swelling strings and haunting vocals. Think Florence + The Machine meets darkwave—yearning melodies layered with magical danger. Slow-burn romance tension wrapped in mystical, atmospheric indie folk and orchestral scores. Closed-door intimacy, whispered harmonies, bioluminescent energy.
