About this audiobook
The sea takes what it's owed. This year, it wants her. For twenty-two years, Maren Sael has hidden the tide-magic under her skin - in Cinderhollow, a salt-witch is a debt the village drowns before the Court can collect. But when the tithe falls short and the sea comes for a life, Maren does the one thing she swore she never would: she offers herself. Bound for a year and a day to Aerec Vol - the cold, centuries-old Sovereign whose laws let the sea take her mother - Maren is dragged down into a drowned palace of impossible beauty and quiet knives. The Court sees a curiosity. A target. A pet on a leash. None of them know what she is. Aerec does. To survive a coup, a smiling traitor, and a drowned god waking in the deep, Maren must stop hiding her magic - and decide what she's willing to burn to keep a man she was never supposed to want. Some debts aren't paid. They're chosen. Book One of the Drowned Court trilogy - a slow-burn romantasy of salt, sovereignty, and bargains that bite back.
