These Dark Waters

Wrennley Newbury is the adopted daughter of Duke Lionel Newbury of Sulesia. She’s always been given everything she wants, but on her twenty-fourth birthday, the duke tells her he’s arranged a marriage for her. On the day of the wedding, she runs from the church and ends up aboard The Altean, the ship captained by the immortal Eleanor Crowley. Wren is given the opportunity to join the crew and she readily accepts. Her new friends are everything she never knew she needed.

Then she meets Aris, a banished prince with the magics to visit her dreams. He tempts her with something her new friends could never give her—power. He weaves a story of them retaking his throne and her becoming queen.

Now Wren has a choice to make. Aris, who reminds her of her late best friend Jakob, or her new friends, who have become the family she’s always wanted. Can she fight her way out of these dark waters, or will she find herself drowning?
