The Salt Crown (Blue Book 1)

The Salt Crown
A Romantasy Novel

By KL Adams

Weslyn never wanted a crown.

As the youngest daughter of Tarrin, a hidden kingdom beneath the sea, she has spent her life avoiding the future everyone else has chosen for her. But when her father—the king—is struck by a mysterious illness and begins to die, duty leaves her with only one option.

Ascend to the surface.

Find the man fate has chosen.

Return before it’s too late.

For centuries, nymphs have been bound by an ancient covenant. Upon coming of age, each must seek out their destined landwalker counterpart, identified by nothing more than the first letter of their name. The bond cannot be escaped. It can only be accepted.

Witt Broadmoor believes in science, not destiny.

A marine researcher haunted by strange dreams and an unexplainable pull toward the ocean, Witt has spent his life searching for answers in data and evidence. The last thing he expects is a mysterious woman appearing in his laboratory and telling him that everything he knows about the world is wrong.

As an ancient bond awakens between them, Weslyn and Witt are drawn into a world of hidden kingdoms, dangerous secrets, and impossible choices. With time running out and a throne hanging in the balance, they must decide whether fate is something to be feared—or something worth fighting for.

Because some bonds are written in blood.

Others are written in the sea.

And beneath the waves, a crown awaits its queen.
