Princess Victoria Ravenscroft crosses the grey waters to Albion under the heavy guard of royal warships for an arranged marriage designed to avert a bloody war. Prince Arthur Lancaster awaits her, but he is just as trapped by the heavy crown as she is. Within the treacherous halls of Ravenport Castle, every polite smile hides sharp judgment, every supper is a trial, and every promise is bound by duty.
Yet, far beneath the cold stone, the sea is waking.
As Victoria and Arthur shift from resentment to an uneasy alliance, ancient magic stirs from the deep. Forgotten maritime contracts, blood-bound trials, and the dark power of the drowned sea threaten to claim Victoria before love can save her. To survive, she must uncover what the ocean remembers and whether her heart can defy a kingdom’s command.
Rich with gothic atmosphere, forbidden magic, and royal tension, The Duchess of the Drowned Sea is an oceanic fantasy romance about sacrifice, ancient secrets, and a love forged between the tides.
