Sail the magical high seas with this first book in a new sexy fantasy romance series from Katee Robert, the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok smash-hit Neon Gods.

Evelyn is a witch with a perfect storm of impulses: terrible taste in bed partners, sticky fingers, and a lust for danger. After she steals from her vampire ex and falls through a portal to another realm, she’s fished out of the waters by a band of seafarers and their telekinetic captain. She’s immediately given a choice—join their group or die.

Bowen has no memory of his life before he became one of the Cŵn Annwn. He and his pirate crew are bound by vow to patrol through Threshold, the magical sea in between realms, keeping the portals to other worlds safe. When he rescues Evelyn, he doesn’t expect to be attracted to the unflappably brassy pickpocket. The longer he spends in her presence, the more he begins to question if his heart is the next thing she’ll steal.

But as tension heats up between Bowen and Evelyn, danger escalates as well. Because Evelyn has no intention of keeping her vows to the Cŵn Annwn, and if she betrays the crew, both she and Bowen will pay the ultimate price....

Katee Robert

Katee Robert

Katee Robert writes romance that refuses to stay polite. Her stories live where desire meets danger, where power is negotiated rather than assumed, and where love often grows in the shadow of temptation. Known for reshaping familiar myths and archetypes into bold, modern romances, she has become a defining voice for readers who want emotional intensity alongside unapologetic heat.

Much of her work plays with reinvention. In the Dark Olympus series, Greek gods walk a contemporary city built on politics, control, and carefully guarded secrets. Hades, Persephone, and the rest are no longer distant legends but flawed, hungry people navigating power and intimacy in public and private spaces. Elsewhere, in series like Wicked Villains, classic antagonists are pulled out of the margins and given center stage, their stories reframed around consent, vulnerability, and desire. Across genres, whether contemporary romance, myth inspired worlds, or darker fantasy leaning settings, her books return again and again to questions of agency and trust.

Her path to writing grew out of a lifelong love for fairy tales and mythology, especially the parts that felt unfinished or unfair. Rather than abandoning those stories, she chose to rewrite them, keeping the magic but changing who gets to claim power and pleasure. Now based in the Pacific Northwest, she is known for a prolific creative rhythm and a close connection with her readers, often sharing insights into process, influences, and the realities of building a long running body of work.

That consistency has translated into a significant cultural footprint. Her novels regularly appear on major bestseller lists, including the New York Times and USA Today, and have helped push darker, more adventurous romance into the mainstream conversation. Yet the appeal of her books is not rooted in shock value alone. Readers return for characters who negotiate boundaries honestly, relationships that evolve under pressure, and worlds where desire is treated as something meaningful rather than disposable.

Katee Robert’s work stands out because it treats romance as both pleasure and story engine. In her books, intimacy reveals character, power creates conflict, and love, no matter how unconventional its shape, is always taken seriously.
