From USA Today bestselling author Holly Renee comes a brand new romantasy trilogy born of the tangled threads of fate and forbidden desire.

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR HOLLY RENEE COMES AN EMOTIONALLY COMPELLING ROMANTASY DRENCHED IN SALT AND MAGIC.

A cursed sea king, a stolen bride, and a fate meant for another.

They say madness dwells in the ocean’s depths…and in the eyes of the Drowned King. Cursed to take a human bride and break her mind the moment she sees his face, the Drowned King spends his life in torment, watching. Waiting.

Lou was never meant to be chosen. Branded from birth as a saltwitch, she has always been seen as the cursed shadow of her moonblessed twin. Now, veiled and bound in marriage to a man she must never see, she’s thrust into a life of ancient gods and unraveling fate…and unspeakable desire.

Yet even as fear becomes tangled with a perilous longing for the Drowned King’s heated touch, the truth of her choosing looms over her like a siren’s song. It rages louder with every breath she takes as whispers travel through the kingdoms: rumblings of war, of ancient goddesses awakening, of a queen with saltwater on her lips who will change everything.

There is no stopping fate, for though she was never meant to be chosen, the moon has already summoned the tide.

About the author

Holly Renee

USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee brings readers a pinch of angst, an indulgence of heat, and the perfect amount of heart in every book. Born and raised in East Tennessee, she is a married mom of two wild children. When she's not writing, you can find her reading, pretending to be a dragon for the hundredth time that day, being disgustingly in love with her husband, or chilling in the middle of the lake with her sunglasses and a float.

Hauntingly beautiful and scorching hot, everything a fantasy romance should be!

Melissa Landers, New York Times bestselling author

Mooncursed by Holly Renee immediately caught me in the story's riptide and pulled me under, not letting me catch a breath until the end. The immersive writing explores Lou and Rune's struggle to find belonging and happiness in a merciless world as responsibility and the expectation of self-sacrifice lies heavily on their shoulders. This dark, visceral fantasy swept me up and left me eager for the next book in the series.
