A Treaty of Salt and Iron: An Epic Enemies-to-Lovers Romantasy

"Salt remembers what iron tries to forget." They drowned her isle when she was a child. They spent eighteen years making her a weapon. Now the empire that murdered her people has demanded a treaty-bride - and Maren Vael has been sent with one secret command: get inside the Ironhold, find the buried Forge that powers the empire's magic, and break it. But the Forge is already dying. The masked prince she has been married to is rotting from the inside behind his iron. And the deeper Maren cuts toward the empire's heart, the more impossible the truth becomes: the Forge is not a weapon. It is a wall - the only thing holding back a hunger in the deep that unmakes whatever it touches. Break it, and she will not avenge the drowned. She will drown the world. Prince Riven Vaurex gave the order that killed her isle. He should be the easiest man alive to hate. He is becoming the only person who has ever seen her whole. To save both their peoples, salt and iron must do the one thing four centuries of war made impossible: hold nothing back, and pay a price that leaves them forever less than they were. The sea takes everything in the end. The only question left is what she is willing to become to keep it from taking everyone. An epic enemies-to-lovers romantasy of forbidden magic, a marriage that began as a cage, and a love that costs everything. First in THE DROWNED CROWN.
