Isobelle has secret dreams too, but she’s been promised in marriage to the winner. Desperate to avoid this fate, when she connects the newcomer knight to the female smithy she saw earlier that day, she begins to hatch a scheme…

Ein göttliches Abenteuer, so aufregend und romantisch, dass man die salzige Gischt des Ozeans auf der Haut spürt... Zwei verfeindete Reiche, zwei Fremde, die sich auf den ersten Blick nicht ausstehen können und zwei Götter, die schlecht gelaunt aus ihrem jahrhundertelangen Schlaf erwachen... Selly hat Salzwasser in den Adern. Als ihr Vater sie auf einem Lehrschiff zurücklässt, um selbst in ein Abenteuer zu segeln, hat sie keinesfalls die Absicht, nur das Deck zu schrubben. Doch noch bevor sie heimlich die Segel setzen und ihrem Vater folgen kann, kapert ein gut aussehender Fremder ihr Schiff.

Selly has salt water in her veins. So when her father leaves her high and dry in the port of Kirkpool, she has no intention of riding out the winter at home while he sails off to adventure. But any plans to follow him are dashed when a handsome stranger with tell-tale magician's marks on his arm commandeers her ship. He is Prince Leander of Alinor and he needs to cross the Crescent Sea without detection so he can complete a ritual on the sacred Isles of the Gods. Selly has no desire to escort a spoiled prince anywhere, and no time for his entitled demands or his good looks.

Gwen has spent the past several years manning the blacksmith's in place of her father, an open secret in the village in which she lives. Isobelle has secret dreams too, but she's been promised in marriage to the winner of the whole stupid tournament, which means an end to any freedom or choices for her.

When Selly and Leander began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain’s daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened. They fell in love. Leander’s ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life, and drew the goddess Barrica back from exile. Now, as her Messenger, Leander is imbued with her deadly magic, and only Selly’s presence can stop it from consuming him.

Prince Leander of Alinor boarded a ship to make his family’s traditional pilgrimage to the Isles of the Gods, to strengthen the goddess Barrica. The Mellaceans had other ideas. Only Selly, the prince and I survived from that ship. We fled from Laskia and her crew, were chased across the Crescent Sea, and arrived at the Isles with only moments to spare. There, at the Isle of the Mother, we believed we witnessed Laskia’s death. We were wrong.

Nelle vene di Selly non scorre sangue ma acqua di mare, perciò quando il padre, imbarcatosi un anno addietro, le fa recapitare una lettera in cui le comunica che non tornerà prima di sei mesi e che lei dovrà restare a Kirkpool fino al suo rientro, la delusione e la rabbia prendono il sopravvento. Di certo, l'ultima cosa che lei ha voglia di fare è aspettarlo tutto l'inverno con le mani in mano. Peccato però che il suo piano di inseguirlo venga vanificato da un affascinante straniero, che ha marchi verde smeraldo da mago lungo gli avambracci e sul dorso delle mani.
