Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Mourning TideThe Crown is broken. The sea is not finished with them.The Mourning Tide is the second novel in the A Drowned Kingdom series, following The Saltwater Crown.Six months after the fall of the old royal covenant, Damian Gimond has surrendered his title and left the ruins of the Crown behind. On Thalassa, he has found something he never expected to possess: a life chosen for himself.But across the nine islands, the sea is beginning to remember.Buried mourning bells ring beneath the water. People awaken carrying memories that do not belong to them. Ancient marriage records open without keys. And from the drowned reaches of Greyhaven comes a woman dressed in white.Her name is Seraphine.She knows Damian.Or, more dangerously, something inside her remembers him.Long before the Crown was broken, the kings of Brinewater prepared another way to preserve their bloodline-a ritual involving an heir, a bride fashioned from witnessed memory, and a vow the body may be forced to keep even when the spirit refuses it.Now that forgotten design is waking.While Damian returns to Brinewater to uncover what his family concealed, Eleonora remains on Thalassa, where the severed branches of the old Crown have begun pulling toward one another again. Their promise is simple: nothing hidden, nothing decided for the other.The kingdom is about to test exactly how difficult that promise is to keep.As drowned memories spread, old loyalties fracture, and a power thought destroyed begins searching for new bodies to inhabit, Damian and Eleonora must confront a question more dangerous than who deserves to rule: Can a kingdom truly be free if its past can still choose for the living?Dark, romantic, and steeped in sea-soaked gothic atmosphere, The Mourning Tide continues the story begun in The Saltwater Crown with forbidden magic, political intrigue, morally complicated characters, dangerous intimacy, and a love that must survive without becoming another kind of chain.Book Two of the A Drowned Kingdom series.
