For ten years, Marina Solis—true heir to the Sea God's bloodline—hid her identity and loved Adrian, believing he saved her life. She gave up her crown and wealth to build his fortune. Then she discovers his affair with pregnant Julietta—an agent of the ancient Black Tide. Worse, Adrian never saved her; her loyal protector Dara did. Betrayed in love and memory, Marina reclaims her sacred Trident Emblem and is crowned Queen of the Seven Seas. She strips Adrian of status and fortune before the entire aristocracy. But vengeance is not enough. Her parents' deaths were part of a conspiracy: her uncle Achilles betrayed them to the Black Tide, who seek to use her bloodline to awaken a Deep-Sea Mother Goddess. Civil war erupts. Dara fights beside her. In the final battle, Marina shatters her trident to seal the ancient darkness—sacrificing herself to save the Seven Seas. What began as a betrayed wife's story becomes a queen's rise, a kingdom's salvation, and one woman's ultimate choice.
