A standalone fae romantasy perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers tension, sea magic, sharp banter, courtly intrigue, and a heroine who would rather fight fate than bow to it. Imagine Atlantis meets the Salvatore Brothers and make them royal…

Gwen has spent five years outrunning her past—and the bloodthirsty fae who want her back.

Born to one of the most powerful redcap families in the courts beneath, Gwen was promised to a monster long before she learned how to fight one. And now, shackled to the deck of a ship, bound for a marriage she would rather die than accept, she leans over the edge and begs the sea to take her.

Instead, a kelpie answers. Granting her the ability to breathe beneath the waves, he whisks her away to the Drowned Court: an ancient fae kingdom hidden far below the surface for over a century.

There, Gwen discovers her rescuer is more than just a sea-bound savior—he’s one of two rival princes caught in a power struggle that could shape the future of their court. And when their calculating queen learns Gwen’s true identity, she issues a dangerous ultimatum: marry one of her sons within twelve tides… or drown trying to leave.

Gwen pretends to play along, but only so she can plan her escape. She has no intention of staying, or falling for the brothers with secretive smiles. But pretending starts to feel a little too real as the tides—and her heart—begin to shift.

The Courts Beneath stories are all standalone novels set in a shared universe series . Despite taking place in the same world, their stories have no overarching plot and each story occurs in a completely different location. As such, these novels can be read in any order.
