Mermaids by Florence & The Machine meets Cruel Prince in this epic romantic fantasy where a mermaid princess is kidnapped during an ancient ritual and partners with the elf prince who captured her to fulfill a deadly bargain.
Sacrifice.
On the eve of her arranged marriage, Princess Lyra is bound to the Tidal Tithe, a ritual demanding the sacrifice of a human heart. But before the offering can be made, she is stolen away by a rival kingdom.
Rebellion.
Torn from the sea, Lyra enters into a dangerous bargain to appease ancient magic unraveling around her. Her only ally? The enemy she was foretold to hate.
Love.
As treachery deepens and tides rise, Lyra must choose: obey the rules of her kingdom, or seize the forbidden magic hidden within her voice-and risk everything to change the tides.
A story of sacrifice, rebellion, and love as fierce as the sea itself.
Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, super slow burns, found family, and fairytale-like worlds, and--books similar to Cruel Prince, The Ever King, and Throne of Glass.
