A reckless prince sent to do his brother's bidding. A cursed seer determined not to fall in love.
On the eve of war in the Mykandrian Sea, Dimitris Kirassos is set to accompany Thalia—the illustrious, yet irksome seer of The Nostos' crew—to rally soldiers in the Lost Isle of Skiatha. His orders are simple: bring a fleet back to Nexos to aid in the looming war with Hades' acolytes and don't, under any circumstances, touch the seer. As the winter solstice nears, Dimitris can't help but wonder if he would risk Alexander's wrath to call Thalia his own.
Cursed to relive the pain of death over and over, Thalia only agrees to travel on the journey to Skiatha for one reason—to rescue her sister from the vicious Lernean Legion. With the wise guidance of her psychí, Mykonos, Thalia must navigate the treacherous waters of being confined to a ship with Alexander's rakish younger brother. To her surprise, the prince has more than just gambling and tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps the Fates have more in store for her than what she has seen. Perhaps Dimitris is the key to breaking her curse. Perhaps love was always the answer.
But can they both decide before the God of the Underworld claims Thalia for good?
Swift as the Rising Tide is the next installment of The Nostos Series, a Greek Mythology and Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired romantasy. It is best enjoyed after book two, A Spell of Bones and Madness, and follows a side quest of our favorite characters, Dimitris and Thalia.
