In the Wake of the Ruined: A Novel (The Siren Mage)

Imogen Nel has finally claimed her ancestral crown, but the cost of her newfound power is a terrifying, parasitic bond with the ancient deity Eusia. As a Siren, Imogen’s abilities are no longer a secret, and the dark magic coursing through her threatens to consume not just her humanity, but the entire realm. With war looming and alliances fracturing, she must find a way to sever her connection to Eusia before she fulfills a prophecy of utter ruin.

Her mission leads her back to Theodore, the King of Varya, who is struggling to uphold his own crumbling kingdom. Their reunion on the high seas reignites a volatile, forbidden desire that complicates every tactical decision. Theodore is bound by his duty to his people, yet his resolve falters the moment Imogen arrives, forcing him to choose between the stability of his crown and the woman destined to upend his world.

As they navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties and encroaching shadows, the two must decide if their connection is a catalyst for destruction or the only weapon strong enough to defeat a god. In a race against time and internal darkness, they risk everything for a future that may not exist.
