Chapter Overview

Description

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.

Who Should Listen

  • Dark fantasy romance fans who want high heat and high stakes
  • Listeners who love morally gray leads, vivid worldbuilding, and found family crews
  • Readers of gothic retellings and sea-myths who don’t mind blood on the love story
