A fantasy romance built on a bargained marriage, in which a selkie prince, warned by a vision sent from the sea, claims a mortal princess who refuses to be anyone's pawn. Glittering undersea court intrigue, shifting alliances, and a slow burn nobody planned. His Kingdom Needs Her Alive. She Refuses to Be a Pawn. Ronan, Prince of the Selkies, would sacrifice anything for his people. When a vision from the sea goddess Thalassa reveals that his fate, and the survival of his realm, is tied to a mortal princess, he claims her as his bride. Emma has always been the overlooked youngest princess, eager to carve out a sliver of freedom for herself. When a selkie prince arrives demanding she abandon the life she's fought for, she refuses to play the pawn in his game. But the selkie court glitters with knives. Conspirators whisper behind coral thrones, alliances shift with the tide, and the bargain holding Ronan and Emma together starts to feel like something neither of them agreed to: wanting each other. Every day the plot against the crown tightens, and every day the marriage that was meant to save two kingdoms looks more likely to cost them both. The Prince of Salt and Sea is a marriage-of-convenience fantasy romance in the Married to the Faie series, for readers who love fated bargains, selkie courts, enemies-to-allies tension and slow-burn royal romance. Perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
