Salt in the Seas - Paperback

The knowledge to reverse her mother's curse lies just across the barriers, but so do new prophecies that resurrect even older threats...

With Mayvus gone and relative peace restored, Aeliana must find her place in a foreign nation as the high priestess' daughter. But her mother's mind seems broken, and the research Mayvus left behind makes Aeliana suspect the evil priestess isn't actually dead.

After leaving home as a traitor, Gaeren relishes the chance for a fresh start without expectations as prince and throne warden. But when his sister welcomes him back, he questions whether he can do more good for the people by his sister's side or among them supporting Aeliana.

When they discover Mayvus is not only alive, but her life force is intricately woven with Aeliana's mother's, they set out to break the curse that binds the priestesses. But answers lie across the barriers in foreign nations, and the hunt for the ancient relics that take them there holds prophetic dangers of its own. If they can't reverse the curse before Mayvus' reach exceeds their fragile defenses, sacrificing Aeliana's mother might be the only way to save the nation they love.

Salt in the Seas is the second book in The Half-Light Chronicles, an epic fantasy series with adventures at sea, prophecies, curses, slow burn romance, and the hunt for ancient relics.
