About this book

Raised in secret by the sea's most feared pirate, Esmyra Blackwood knows nothing of her past or the origins of her mysterious powers. In the mortal kingdom, Draevyn Rowe is the second-born son of the tyrant king, and the only known fire-wielder of their realm. Esmyra and Draevyn's journeys collide when she kidnaps him to force a trade with the king for her captain's life. But when her barter is refused, she is instead tasked with unearthing a kingdom lost a thousand years prior. Together, the two are forced to navigate a labyrinth of lies and secrets in search of the sunken kingdom. The tides are shifting, and with scheming gods and ancient rivalries at play, alliances will be forged and shattered. The two must decide who to trust, and how far they're willing to go for the ones they love. Esmyra will face a choice: Does their world deserve salvation . . . or will she be its reckoning? Contains mature themes.

Amazing!

"In Wraith Beneath The Tides, we follow Esmyra, the daughter of a notorious pirate lord, as she embarks on a daring quest filled with secrets and adventure. Determined to gather vital information and resources for her crew and father, she stumbles upon whispers of a legendary treasure hidden on an island that seems to have vanished, its treacherous tides posing a challenge even for the most seasoned pirates. During her voyage, she encounters Prince Draevyn, who masquerades as a pirate captain. Intrigued by the mystery of the elusive island, Esmyra devises a clever plan to infiltrate his ship, posing as a damsel in distress seeking refuge. This marks the beginning of an exhilarating adventure between a fierce siren and a fire-wielding prince. As their journey unfolds, the seas brim with secrets, and Esmyra discovers the truth about her origins. Unexpectedly, she finds an ally in the prince, whom she once viewed as a rival. With her father’s life at stake, taken by the king, Esmyra is willing to risk everything—even her own safety—to save the one person she holds dear, even after uncovering the shocking truths surrounding him. This story beautifully intertwines themes of loyalty, identity, and the complexities of love and enmity, making it a thrilling read for those who enjoy tales of adventure on the high seas. I can’t wait for book 2. ["
