Aventure en haute mer, chantage et dieux intrusifs se rencontrent dans ce premier roman palpitant d'une nouvelle série de fantasy YA. Dans un monde divisé par des dieux meddlesome et des océans traîtres, seuls les Maarin possèdent le savoir pour traverser les Mers Infinies, mais ils ont un mandat : l'Est ne doit jamais rencontrer l'Ouest. Teriana, deuxième officier du Quincense et héritière du Triumvirat Maarin, est née des mers et gardienne de ses secrets. Lorsque son amie est contrainte à un mariage non désiré, elle enfreint le mandat de son peuple pour l'aider à s'échapper, un choix aux conséquences dévastatrices. Marcus, commandant de la Trente-Septième, la légion notoire qui a conquis l'Est pour l'Empire Celendor, cache un secret depuis son enfance. Il est prêt à tout pour le protéger, même au prix de sa propre vie. Lorsque la découverte des Dark Shores par un sénateur de l'Empire menace de révéler le secret de Marcus, il capture l'équipage de Teriana et les force à naviguer pour la conquête. Ils forment une alliance improbable, unissant leurs forces pour le bien de leurs familles. Mais ils doivent décider jusqu'où ils sont prêts à aller et combien ils sont prêts à sacrifier.

Lydia makes a life-changing discovery during her training at the healing temple, while Killian risks war to embrace his dark side, and Marcus pursues an alliance with the Arinoquians.

So when she is sent as a bride under the guise of fulfilling a treaty of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture the defenses of the impenetrable Bridge Kingdom. But as she infiltrates her new home - a lush paradise surrounded by tempest seas - and comes to know her new husband, Aren, Lara begins to question where the true evil resides. Around her, she sees a kingdom fighting for survival, and in Aren, a man fiercely protective of his people. As her mission drives her to deeper understanding of the fight to possess the bridge, Lara finds the simmering attraction between her and Aren impossible to ignore.

When Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she realises that the trolls are relying on her to break the curse. Cécile has only one thing on her mind: escape.

Whether she succeeds or fails, the costs to those she cares about will be high. To find Anushka, she must delve into magic that is both dark and deadly. But the witch is a clever creature. And Cécile might not just be the hunter. She might also be the hunted...
