In a kingdom where the sea is feared, Ria Lucroy yearns to be brave. Bodies are washing ashore, and everyone knows who is to blame. Legends of the Heartless King, a pirate, a monster, and a god, shroud the continent in fear. When his mercenaries raid her father's merchant ship, Ria's family is faced with a horrifying demand. They will spare his life in exchange for one of his daughters. Determined to save her sisters, Ria embarks on a journey into the world of pirates. Face-to-face with the Heartless King, she discovers he is far more than the stories told. He is a man, with a human name and blood-stained hands, bound to the seas by a centuries-old curse. As their chemistry blooms into something more, Ria finds herself caught in an ancient web of secrets.

Battling creatures of the deep alongside those that reign its surface, Ria discovers how to love a heartless man and that some curses are not so easy to break.

Prepare for stormy seas and swoony romance in this addictive enemies-to-lovers fairytale romance set on a cursed pirate ship. Perfect for fans of Brigid Kemmerer's Cursebreakers series and Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses.
