A princess cursed by silence. A prince bound by honor. Together, they must defy fate to save a kingdom. A stand-alone sequel to The Darkwood Trilogy. Princess Catrin Albrecht is a pawn in a dangerous game of court politics, cursed with the loss of her voice and hunted by those who seek to control her magic. When fate throws her in the path of the stoic and honorable Prince Jenson of Fiorland, the two must navigate treacherous waters—both literal and political—on a journey of survival, betrayal, and impossible love. Once Cat returns to court, whispers of murder, poisoned queens, and dark sorcery fill the air. Shadowed by her conniving cousin Alicia and haunted by a sorceress of immense power, Cat finds herself at the center of a deadly plot that could topple the throne. But with Jenson by her side, they stand a chance to thwart the darkness, if only they can trust each other long enough to fight it. Too bad fate has an epic betrayal in store... Crown of Sea and Storm is a spellbinding romantasy filled with elemental magic, twisty court intrigue, and a slow-burn romance destined to change the fate of kingdoms. Fans of The Little Mermaid, Norse mythology, and sweeping tales of star-crossed lovers will fall head over heels for this captivating story of love, sacrifice, and power. * Unlike the other Darkwood books, this novel has some heat, including a *spicy open door scene*
