Enter the world of Avenal with the first book in the epic romantic fantasy series by Emery Faith.

Everen has spent her life in a quiet coastal village, where the sea is both livelihood and legend. Strong-willed, fiercely loyal, and protective of her sister, she has always known magic exists in the wider world, but never imagined it had anything to do with her. Until the sea takes her.

During the Festival of Sky and Salt, Everen is pulled beneath the waves by a violent storm and awakens far from the life she has always known. She finds herself in the care of fire-born royalty who claim they rescued her from a siren attack. They tell her not to question the past. But the truth feels wrong.

As Everen struggles to understand what really happened that night, strange abilities begin to stir beneath her skin. Drawn into connections she does not fully understand, she begins to realize the storm that brought her here may not have been chance at all. Because the role she is meant to play in Avenal may be far greater and far more dangerous than she ever imagined.
