Crowns of Blood and Salt - (Dark Depths) by Kay Adams (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Dive into the depths of the sequel to the fast-selling Heirs of Bone and Sea, and witness the Queen of Vodaeard and Princess of Death's mission to save their loved ones and defeat a great evil once and for all.

Kalei Maristela was dying.

During the battle with her father, Kalei's connection to the moon was severed. With that loss, something in her has shattered and left her on the brink of death. When the new bones in her body awaken a dangerous magic, she must decide whether to use this second chance for good or for evil. Can she resist descending into corruption and remain true to herself despite the title "Princess of Death"?

Evhen Lockes was drowning.

Her parents' murderer holds her brother captive, and Evhen would do anything to get him back. Including traveling to Geirvar, a dangerous land where assassins lurk around every corner. With a distrusting council she can't rely on, and Kalei pushing her away at every turn, Evhen is left to prove herself worthy of the crown bestowed on her before she was ready. But can she save the princess she fell in love with and her kingdom from those who want to see it wiped off the map?

About the Author

Kay Adams is a fantasy author living in big-city Ontario, surrounded by a massive TBR pile and an equally massive teapot collection. A graduate of the University of Toronto's Celtic Studies program, Kay began weaving worlds and creating characters using a mix of folkloric fascination and celestial curiosity. When she isn't writing, she can be found scrolling TikTok until her time limit runs out, existing in the same vicinity as her two cats Goose and Ducky, or staring at her rainbow library until a book she wants to read magically materializes--except the books she really wants to read are the ones she's writing.
