All magic demands a sacrifice. This time, it may cost her the person she loves most. Cali’s newly won magic is unraveling her from the inside, its twisted power fighting for control of her body and will. Born from the murdered souls of two princesses, the magic is steeped in death—and though the princesses are gone, their power refuses to rest. Every spell pulls Cali further from herself. This was never part of the bargain. All Cali wants is a future with Bae—the marriage they’ve promised each other, the life they still dare to believe in. But the bargains they made to survive now stand between them. Bound by Undine’s magic, Cali knows the truth: breaking her pact could cleanse the corruption consuming her… but it could also sever the magic tying her to Bae. To save herself, she may have to lose him. Yet some wishes are worth defying the sea for. If Cali and Bae are willing to fight the magic that claimed them, they might still claim a future where love is not the final sacrifice—but the one thing powerful enough to endure. The Pirate's Wish is a no-spice fantasy romance perfect for readers who crave emotional stakes, aching devotion, and couples who fight the world—and the sea—to stay together. Read it today.
