A Tide of Teeth and Gold
He went looking for a route the empire couldn't close. Instead, he found the man they'd chained to it.
Pirate captain Marius Calder raids a classified Veressan transport in search of a navigational secret that could finally give his crew freedom from imperial patrols.
Instead, he finds Tarezh-a dangerous, intelligent nonhuman prisoner from beneath the sea, restrained inside a machine and listed on the manifest as a living navigational asset.
Tarezh knows waters no human chart can map. Marius commands the ship Tarezh needs to escape his captors. Neither has reason to trust the other, but survival forces them into an uneasy alliance aboard the Wayward Mercy-and attraction soon becomes harder to dismiss than either man would prefer.
As an imperial commander closes in, they uncover experimental technology built on living bodies, secrets neither side has fully revealed, and traces of something ancient waiting beyond the known routes.
To survive, Marius and Tarezh will have to decide how much trust they can give without surrendering the freedom both of them are fighting to keep.
A Tide of Teeth and Gold is the first book in The Saltwrought Sea Trilogy, an adult M/M dark nautical romantasy featuring pirates, a human/nonhuman monster romance, found family, explicit intimacy, ocean horror, naval pursuit, and ancient mysteries beneath the sea.
