After a vicious werewolf attack on the night of her seventeenth birthday party, Vanessa Hart loses everything she loves in a split second. Her best friend, her father, and even her home.

Bitten and imprisoned without explanation, Vanessa endures an agonizing transformation into the very beast that maimed her, and her captors make it clear she cannot escape: she will either swear her life to the Wolf Queen’s Court, or she will die.

With no other choice, Vanessa joins their enchanted Castle Severi—where flowering vines grow through the walls, gifts are bestowed by the stars, and a claw can break through skin as easily as silk—but she hasn’t forgotten what they stole from her. 
 
Vanessa still seeks vengeance, scheming in the shadows even as she finds herself mesmerized by the golden prince Sinclair Severi, who threatens to steal her heart though he is promised to her nemesis. And by his brooding, disgraced cousin, Calix, whose smoldering gaze hides even darker secrets. Immersed in the magic of their whimsical yet cruel society, Vanessa soon learns not all is as it seems.
 
The Court is at war, and she may simply be a pawn in its lethal game.

Mermaid Zephyra of the Syl dreams of freedom. On the run from a dangerous sorcerer after years of torment, she’s shed her tail, grown legs, and hidden herself on land in the merrow-loathing kingdom of Mortia. She survives by stealing and bartering on the dirty streets—until she’s arrested and sentenced to death by the brutal warlock, Arion Stone.

Arion is as beautiful as he is cold and deadly, interested only in executing the merrow he views as evil. He has grown as strong as any warlock might, but at great personal cost…which can only be remedied by the heart of the God of Death, lost to a fabled kingdom somewhere in the ocean’s treacherous depths.

So Arion offers Zephyra a deal she can’t refuse: help him find the mystical heart, and he’ll spare her life. With her life at stake, Zephyra agrees, entangling their souls and forbidden desires in a magical bargain. But Zephyra's past is catching up to her, and the enemy she fled seeks vengeance. If Zephyra and Arion can't learn to fight together—and trust each other—a fate worse than death awaits them.

Of course, in the wicked sea, everyone has secrets, and no one should be trusted.
