A SEA OF WOLVES

Close-up of a black and gray husky dog with piercing yellow eyes, looking directly at the camera in a dark setting.

   Pirates are tearing Mersey's seaside city apart like wolves.
   A fifty-year-old treaty lies in tatters, and Mersey wants nothing more than to live her life at sea, to make those pirates pay and keep her people safe, but a promise to her beloved grandmother ties Mersey to the forests and a future that doesn't feel like her own. Afraid she'll never get to be captain if she stays, Mersey sets out to free her city - and herself - from the hounds of the Heartless King.
   When a reckless plan fails, Mersey finds herself caught up in the world's most notorious pirate crew, and the arms of its cold-blooded first mate. These pirates are determined to take Mersey's city for themselves, leaving her caught in the beginnings of a war; one she knows will have disastrous consequences for the people she loves, but just might be the thing to set her free.
   Amid lies, betrayal, and a blossoming love for someone she is supposed to want dead, Mersey finds herself torn between two lives, each as steeped in red as the other.

A CURSE OF SALT

Waves crashing against rocks at the shoreline

   In a kingdom that fears the sea, Ria Lucroy longs to be brave.
   Bodies are washing ashore and everyone knows who's to blame. Legends of the Heartless King shroud the continent in fear; they call him a pirate, a monster, a god. When his mercenaries raid her father's merchant ship, Ria's family is faced with a horrifying demand. They will spare his life, in exchange for one of his daughters.
   Determined to save her sisters, Ria launches herself into the world of pirates. Face-to-face with the Heartless King, she finds he is far more than the stories told. He is a man, with a human name and blood-stained hands, bound to the seas by a centuries-old curse. As their chemistry blooms into something more, Ria finds herself caught in an ancient web of secrets.
   Battling creatures of the deep alongside those that reign its surface, Ria discovers that some curses aren't so easy to break.
