A Ship of Bones & Teeth is a dark fantasy romance about Maren, a Syren who once bargained away her tail to walk on land and win a prince—and lost herself in the process. Ten years later, trapped in an abusive marriage and far from home, she’s taken by the Brethren of the Blood, a notorious pirate crew led by Captain Ramsay “Bones” Battista. Their ship is said to be cursed; their pasts definitely are. Ramsay wants a ransom, a mermaid’s magic, and revenge on the witch who destroyed his family. Maren wants her freedom—and maybe the ocean back. What follows is a storm-lashed journey across islands, navies, skeleton crews, and sea witches; a war of wills in chains and cages; and a love that refuses to be tamed. This is a searing, sensual retelling where monsters both above and below the waves have teeth, where consent and power are complicated, and where the heart you keep is sometimes the one you steal.
