The Sea Queen's Forbidden Vow

**A sea queen bound by a forbidden vow. A dangerous prince who should have been her enemy. A love powerful enough to drown kingdoms.** Queen Nerissa of the Tideborn throne was raised to rule the sea, not surrender her heart. After years of betrayal, blood debt, and broken crowns, Nerissa carries a vow no one knows about-one that could save her kingdom or destroy everything she loves. To protect her people, she must enter a dangerous alliance with Prince Kael, a man tied to the very court that once betrayed her bloodline. He is arrogant, ruthless, and impossible to trust. But beneath his sharp words and dangerous secrets lies a man haunted by his own curse. And the closer Nerissa gets to him, the harder it becomes to remember why she was supposed to hate him. As ancient sea magic awakens and enemies rise from both land and water, Nerissa discovers that her forbidden vow is not just a promise-it is a weapon. A crown. A sacrifice. And if the truth is revealed, it could tear apart every kingdom connected to the Crownbound Hearts Saga. In a world of cursed thrones, storm-born secrets, and love written in blood and tide, Nerissa must choose between duty and desire. But some vows are meant to be broken. And some loves are powerful enough to sink the world. **The Sea Queen's Forbidden Vow** is Book 5 in **The Crownbound Hearts Saga**, a dark romantasy series filled with royal betrayal, forbidden love, dangerous magic, enemies-to-lovers tension, powerful queens, cursed kingdoms, and crowns that demand sacrifice.
