When The Sea Demands A Bride

The sea has chosen its bride. But she refuses to belong to any man, monster, or crown.

Mira Vale boards the Silver Hart to escape a powerful nobleman determined to force her into marriage. She expects a difficult voyage and an uncertain future. She does not expect a supernatural storm, a mysterious mark spreading across her wrist, or the arrival of a black-sailed ship commanded by an immortal prince.

Prince Theron Veyr is heir to Veyrholm, a drowned kingdom hidden behind an enchanted wall of storms. For generations, his people have waited for the marked bride whose marriage to the prince is supposed to restore their dying realm. Theron knows the old covenant demands Mira-but he refuses to claim a woman who has not freely chosen him.

When Mira is taken to Tidefall Castle, she discovers a kingdom trapped between life and death. Its streets are slowly sinking, its royal family carries a monstrous curse, and something ancient is awakening beneath the waves. As Mira and Theron search the forbidden histories, their reluctant alliance becomes a powerful attraction neither can deny.

But the marriage prophecy is a lie.

Mira was never chosen to save Veyrholm. She was chosen to awaken Morvath, the immortal monster imprisoned beneath the Sea Throne. Completing the royal marriage will open his final gate-and the first child born from the marked bride and crowned heir will give him a living body.

To defeat him, Mira must master the power hidden inside her blood. Theron must surrender his immortality, his crown, and everything he was born to become. Together, they must prove that freely chosen love is stronger than prophecy, royal power, and the darkness waiting beneath the sea.

When the Sea Demands a Bride is an enthralling gothic fantasy romance filled with ancient prophecies, a cursed prince, a fearless heroine, supernatural danger, and irresistible forbidden love. Readers who enjoy a dark royal fantasy romance, an arranged marriage fantasy romance, or an emotional sea prince romance novel will be swept into this haunting adventure.

Perfect for readers searching for a strong heroine fantasy adventure, an atmospheric supernatural kingdom romance, and an intense enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance in which love must be freely chosen-even when an entire kingdom demands the bride's sacrifice.

Enter the forgotten kingdom of Veyrholm today and discover what happens when a determined woman refuses to kneel before the sea.
