The knowledge to reverse her mother’s curse lies just across the barriers, but so do new prophecies that resurrect even older threats…

Between struggling to fit into her new role as the high priestess’ daughter and caring for her mother, whose mind seems broken, Aeliana stumbles upon research Mayvus left behind—and begins to suspect the evil priestess isn’t actually dead.

Gaeren, on the other hand, relishes the chance for a fresh start without expectations as prince and throne warden after leaving home as a traitor. Until his sister welcomes him back, and he begins to question whether he can do more good for the people by his sister’s side at the palace or among the Recreants supporting Aeliana.

When Aeliana and Gaeren discover Mayvus is not only alive, but her life force is intricately woven with Aeliana’s mother’s, they set out to break the curse that binds the priestesses. But answers lie across the barriers in foreign nations, and the quest to get there holds prophetic dangers of its own.

If they can’t reverse the curse before Mayvus’ reach exceeds their fragile defenses, sacrificing Aeliana’s mother might be the only way to save the nation they love.

Salt in the Seas is Book 2 in The Half-Light Chronicles, an epic fantasy series with adventures at sea, prophecies, curses, slow burn romance, and the hunt for ancient relics.
