The Drowned Crown: A Dark Fantasy of Ancient Oaths and Ocean Magic

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

THE CROWN IS SHATTERED.

THE OCEAN RUNS RED WITH AMBITION.

AND ONLY ONE CAN WEAR IT—IF ANY SURVIVE.

The Mer-Queen is dead. Her crown, the only artifact powerful enough to unite the underwater kingdoms, has fractured into three pieces—each choosing its own bearer in a deadly game of succession.

Dr. Marina Thorne never wanted to be a player in mer-folk politics. As a Covenant Keeper, she enforces the ancient treaty between land and sea. But when one of the Crown fragments embeds itself in her chest, granting her terrifying visions and impossible power, she's thrust into the center of a war she can't escape.

Prince Nereus, consumed by his quest for the throne, will destroy anyone who stands between him and the remaining fragments—including Marina.

Selene Darkwater, the exiled princess who returns with an army, holds the second fragment and a devastating secret that connects her bloodline to Marina's.

As the ocean descends into chaos, Marina uncovers an ancient prophecy that changes everything: the Crown doesn't want a ruler. It wants a sacrifice.

Caught between rival claimants, her sister's betrayal, and a forbidden romance with a human naval officer, Marina must make an impossible choice—

Claim the Crown and lose herself. Or destroy it and watch the world drown.

'Stone crafts underwater kingdoms with the complexity of Martin and the darkness of Abercrombie. Marina Thorne is unforgettable.'
