About this audiobook
Sneak Peek: The kingdom of Vethara sits at the edge of the known sea, built on cliffs so old that the stone has turned the color of a bruise. It has had twelve kings and no queens, and the reason for this is not law or tradition but a single curse laid down by a drowned woman three hundred years ago, a curse that the royal family has spent three centuries pretending is merely legend. Sixteen-year-old Iseld Marr does not know about the curse. She does not know she is the last living descendant of the woman who drowned. She does not know that the sea has been returning her to shore every time she nearly dies, which has happened four times in her life, because it is waiting for her to be ready. She is about to be ready. And the kingdom that has ruled above the cliff for three hundred years, comfortable in its certainty that no woman will ever wear its crown, is about to find out what the sea has been keeping.
