Destined to become the Sea Queen, Serena Calloway spends seven years waiting to bond with Ethan Carter—only to discover that he has betrayed her with her best friend and secretly replaced his name on their bonding contract with that of his supposedly cursed uncle, Caden.
Instead of begging Ethan to take her back, Serena accepts the new contract and marries Caden. As their unexpected attraction awakens the ancient Sea King bloodline within him, Serena realizes their union may be more powerful—and dangerous—than anyone imagined. But while Caden prepares to reclaim everything stolen from him, Ethan’s jealousy turns into a dangerous obsession, and he will stop at nothing to force Serena back into the life she escaped.
