Gems of the Sea (Gems Rising, #1)

Sixteen-year-old Frida lives for the sea until she wrecks her beloved racing skiff and lands in the hands of pirates who offer her gold to dive for sunken treasure. On her last dive, she recovers powerful gems from the deep and unwittingly awakens ancient tidewraiths.

Far north, Prince Tomas expects death when he tests his blade within the Mountain of Flame. Instead, he’s greeted with a terrifying vision of a dark, red-eyed monster hunting him. Alarmed, his parents send him to Puledor under the guise of trade negotiations.

Sparks fly as childhood friends Frida and Tomas reunite and battle tidewraiths, confront court betrayals, and face a vengeful sea god. But as the tides of fate rise, each must decide what they’re willing to surrender and what they’ll risk everything to protect.
