This book was everything you could want in a summer read. It was action packed and full of high seas adventures with morally grey characters. There were many moments that made me think of Pirates of the Caribbean. But as a whole I found the story new and different from all other fantasy romance I've read. I will be recommending this to any and all lovers of The Ever King by L. J. Andrews as well as fans of Romantasy in general.
Esmyra Blackwood was taken from her home as a baby by the notorious Captain Cyrus Blackwood the most fear pirate in all the Realms of Rymelle. As she's taken Maerinys, it sinks into the depths of the ocean never to be scene again.
Esmyra aka Esmi spends centuries as the loyal daughter/monster of Captain Cyrus Blackwood. She's the last known Siren who is capable of using her voice to control any and all humans. She can also shift into a sea monster at will and sink any and all sea vessels she wills.
Captain Blackwood tells no one he has a daughter, but everyone in the Realms knows he has a sea monster at his beck and call.
When Esmi learns that her adoptive father didn't save her from a life of poverty on the streets, but kidnapped her from her safe and happy home as a baby, she decides that she wants to try and find the lost kingdom of Mearinys without his approval.
Prince Draevyn Rowe is the second son to a tyrant king and also a fire wielder. His father has essentially treated him as no more than a tool since he had an accident with his magic as a child. His tyrant father king has tasked him with finding the lost Kingdom of Maerinys and all of it's lost gold and treasures.
Draevyn and Esmi cross paths and together, the two are forced to navigate a labyrinth of lies and secrets in search of the sunken kingdom.
