Salt and Surrender (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998772658)

Women rule the waves. The dead rule the shore. Love rules them both.

The Amaranthine Sea, Book One

Salt and Surrender

In 1720, the Caribbean belongs to women and monsters.

Captain Eleanor "Nell" Blackwood of the Royal Navy lives for duty, clean lines on a map, and a ship that runs like clockwork. Her vessel is her pride, her uniform a shield for the heart she keeps locked away. But when a brutal clash leaves her ship broken and her crew scattered, she wakes bound on the deck of a French privateer, staring up into the cold smile of its captain.

Marguerite "Marin" Devereaux has earned every whispered legend about La Sirène Noire. Clever, merciless, and beautiful in a way that feels like a warning, she should ransom the English captain or throw her overboard. Instead, she keeps Nell close where she can watch her, in a cabin with only one bed and nowhere to run.

Tempers flare. Hands stray where they shouldn't. But when the Turned trap them on a fog-shrouded island, Nell and Marin must trust the one woman they most want to hate, and can't stop wanting.

Storms are gathering. The Admiralty is hunting. On a sea that demands blood for every choice, one question remains:

What will they surrender first-their duty, or their hearts?
