Tales of Salt and Blood by Inken Bermann

A siren ... half a girl, half a shark.Half a nightmare, half a dream.

Round and round and round she swims, like a fish in a bowl. Until one day, she's sold.

The only thing keeping Valerie sane during years of captivity has been the thought of revenge. But she did not factor her new owner into her plans. Enrys is dragging her away from the anger and sadness that had been her shore and out into a wild ocean of longing, passion and hope.

Locked in a power struggle with nearby kingdoms, Valerie isn't the tool Enrys was hoping for when he purchased a siren. Is she a potential ally or just a distraction?

When the only thing holding you together is anger, is it ever safe to let someone else in? The fury of the sea can smooth the sharpest edges ... but it can just as easily drag you under.

Tales of Salt and Bloodis a dark fantasy romance written for mature audience. This is book one in a duology.
