The Tide's Bargain

By Avery Quinn

Some bargains cost gold.

Some cost your soul.

Torin Vaelos gave up his voice to a sea demon ten years ago in exchange for prosperity and favorable winds for his family's powerful merchant empire. He believed the debt had been paid.

He was wrong.

Now the demon has returned with a new demand-his firstborn child.

With only one month before the bargain becomes permanent, Torin has one desperate chance to rewrite his fate. His only hope lies with Captain Sloane, the infamous pirate who commands storms at a terrible cost: every use of her magic steals years from her life.

She has every reason to hate him.

He has every reason not to trust her.

Yet together they must sail into cursed waters, uncover forgotten secrets, outwit an ancient sea goddess, and face impossible choices where every victory demands another sacrifice.

As danger grows, so does an unexpected bond between two wounded souls who have spent their lives believing they were destined to lose everything they loved.

Set in a breathtaking world of floating markets, pirate fleets, haunted seas, ancient ruins, and dangerous bargains, The Tide's Bargain is an unforgettable romantasy filled with heart-pounding adventure, powerful magic, unforgettable characters, and a slow-burn romance that feels completely earned.
