Tide of Stolen Thrones: Legends of the Five Crowns Series, #2

I know what he’s done—and I don’t know what it will cost to walk beside him anyway.

Once, he helped steal the story that kept the kingdom alive. Now, the truth may destroy us both.

In the realm of the Five Crowns, stories are power. When Seabright’s magic begins to unravel and its royal bloodline vanishes from memory, everything starts to fall apart.

I am Calliope Lorewyn, guardian of Fablehollow and keeper of truths others would rather forget. When prophecy collapses and the sea itself begins to turn, I’m sent to uncover what was taken… and who took it.

My search leads me to Henry Hawkins, a pirate with a charming smile and a past written in forbidden ink. Once an unwitting pawn of the Story Thief, he helped fracture the old fairytales and has been living with the cost ever since.

Henry doesn’t deny what he’s done. I don’t know what it will cost to walk beside him anyway.

To restore a stolen throne, we must cross storm-tossed seas and the shattered heart of Seabright itself. But fixing a broken story may demand more than truth. It may require sacrifice—and a choice between the ending the world needs and the one my heart is beginning to write.
