Description
Melody’s life flips overnight when her father’s sudden fortune hardens him into a greedy stranger—and puts her in the sights of a predatory prince. During a storm-lashed ball, the legendary Kraken of the Darksea surges into her world to collect a debt her father owes. Zalenyk—the Kraken—offers a dark bargain: her father’s life in exchange for Melody’s. Taken to a drowned palace lit by glowing eels and peopled with drowned servants, Melody expects a prison. Instead, she meets a patient guardian who refuses to harm her and wants only what she freely gives. As fear turns into curiosity, and curiosity into devotion, their bond is tested by danger, old myths, and ruthless men. What starts as a claim becomes a choice—hers.
