“A frothy confection of sea-foam, young love, and derring-do.” —NPR

From the New York Times bestselling author of So This Is Ever After, a young prince must rely on a mysterious stranger to save him when he is kidnapped during his coming-of-age tour in this swoony adventure that is The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue meets Pirates of the Caribbean.

Prince Tal has long awaited his coming-of-age tour. After spending most of his life cloistered behind palace walls as he learns to keep his forbidden magic secret, he can finally see his family’s kingdom for the first time. His first taste of adventure comes just two days into the journey, when their crew discovers a mysterious prisoner on a burning derelict vessel.

Tasked with watching over the prisoner, Tal is surprised to feel an intense connection with the roguish Athlen. So when Athlen leaps overboard and disappears, Tal feels responsible and heartbroken, knowing Athlen could not have survived in the open ocean.

That is, until Tal runs into Athlen days later on dry land, very much alive, and as charming—and secretive—as ever. But before they can pursue anything further, Tal is kidnapped by pirates and held ransom in a plot to reveal his rumored powers and instigate a war. Tal must escape if he hopes to save his family and the kingdom. And Athlen might just be his only hope… Science Fiction & Fantasy LGBTQ+ Romance Fantasy Literature & Fiction Heartfelt Action & Adventure Fiction Feel-Good Royalty Mermaids & Mermen

I was really excited for the release of this book because of the cover art and it didn't disappoint. All of the characters both big and small are likeable and relatable, which is something I have lately had a hard time with when it comes to LGBTQIA+ romances.

Tal and Athlen are both amazing and well developed main characters and the ensemble cast is also really good.

The narration was pretty good too. I look forward to reading more from this author and will be looking into there other books.

The climax is probably the best part of the book in my opinion, it was really wonderful.

Highly recommend

I think my issues with this book largely stem from the fact that it is geared towards middle school to high school age readers and i'm in my thirties. I had issues with pacing and I wanted more romance than I got, but I mean it has pirates, shape shifters, political intrigue, chases, escapes, true love - what's not to like. the relationship is very sweet and I would still totally recommend this to readers in the appropriate age range.

Cute romance for middle grade/ YA audience
