Of Tides and Snow When Gwen flees a murder plot and the only life she's ever known, she crashes headlong into the orbit of Morgen, a ruthless pirate captain commanding The Ruined Soul—and suddenly she's not sure if she's being rescued or captured. What starts as a tense power dynamic between a woman running for her life and a captain with a cursed heart begins to shift as they navigate treacherous waters and discover unexpected depths in each other. As Gwen's strange magic and Morgen's icy exterior crack open, they uncover secrets that could either bind them together or tear them apart. This spicy Snow White retelling is a delicious slow-burn about two women learning to trust each other while the world threatens to pull them under.
