Publisher's summary

Duty, fate, desire, and destiny collide in this intricately wrought tale, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas.

Although she was born to save the kingdom by sacrificing herself to the rising sea, Khosa's marriage to King Vincent has redeemed her. As the Queen of Stille, she's untouchable. But being Queen hasn't stopped her heart from longing for the King's stepbrother, Donil. And it hasn't stopped her body from longing for the sea itself, which still calls for her.

While Khosa is made to choose between loyalty and love, Dara is on a mission for vengeance. Years ago, the Pietra slaughtered the entire Indiri race, leaving only Dara and her twin, Donil, alive. Now, spurned by King Vincent, Dara has embarked on a mission to spill the blood of Pietra's leader, Witt, and will stop at nothing to show his people the wrath of the last Indiri.

As the waves crash ever closer to Stille, secrets are revealed, hearts are won and lost, and allegiances change like the shifting sand.

Critic reviews

"The ending of this lyrically written sequel is even more shocking, well-executed, and, refreshingly, not entirely happy.... The distinct perspectives shine, and the harsh-yet-hopeful conclusion ensures this duology doesn’t succumb to the tired trope of happily-ever-after, making this a worthwhile read." (Kirkus Reviews)

"McGinnis crafts an exceptional story from multiple points of view, providing fully fleshed out characters fans can’t help but cheer for - even the antagonists.... A satisfying duology conclusion for romance and fantasy fans." (School Library Journal)

"With six narrators and multiple kingdoms, races, histories, and cultures, this sequel to Given to the Sea...provides a satisfying conclusion to the saga.... McGinnis as established a fascinating, frequently gory, and fully realized backstory for each narrator." (Booklist)

In awe..

I find myself staying up till 2:06 in the morning not having a tired bone in my body needing to finish this story. What a wild ride. The first book at twists and turns but this one, had me gasping. I was truly surprised at ALL the twists and only wish I had more to hear. I hope one day the author will write more. But a good end to an amazing story. 10/10. Would recommend highly! But read the first book first, for sure.
