What if the daughter of a god fell for the one person she could never have? Aquaria has spent her entire life hiding. As the youngest daughter of Poseidon and heir to the Throne of the Sea, she should be wielding elemental magic and ruling the ocean depths. Instead, she's disguised as "Gemma" living among humans, betrothed to a pirate captain she's never met, and forbidden from revealing who she truly is. Four years. That's how long she has to survive on land before the marriage that will seal a fragile peace between worlds. But Aquaria didn't plan on Kelley -the pirate's son who teaches her to sword fight in secret, who looks at her like she's more than a pawn in her father's game, who makes her want a life she was never meant to have. With her eighteenth birthday approaching, Aquaria faces the deadly trials that will unlock her true power. The same prophecy that has haunted her family for generations. Now she must choose: Accept the fate Poseidon has chosen for her, or fight for the love and life she wants-even if it means igniting a war between land and sea.
