Description
Vesper is the best navigator in the wretched frontier town of Oakhaven, surviving by keeping her head down and her blades sharp. When four imposing, heavily cloaked lords hire her to guide them through the lethal Sunken Woods to retrieve a lost artifact, she takes the job for the gold. But when an ambush forces her to grab the artifact to save her own life, the cursed blade brands her, locking her life-force to the four men: a brooding Abyssal Mage, a chaotic-neutral Spell-Thief, a hulking Berserker, and a silver-tongued Courtier. The men are revealed to be exiled Princes of the Dark Fae. Now, inextricably linked to Vesper's soul, they cannot kill her, but they can drag her across a hostile continent to find a way to extract the magic from her blood.
The Sunken Court perfectly captures the soaring demand for Epic Quest Romantasy and massive-scale world-building. This trilogy escalates from intense, claustrophobic survival horror in the Sunken Woods (Book 1), to massive military rebellion and army-building in the Borderlands (Book 2), culminating in a literal apocalyptic siege against a floating, corrupted Fae capital (Book 3). A multi-POV 280,000-word epic where the heroine evolves from a cynical survivor to a High Queen, supported by four monstrous, morally gray men who would gladly burn the continent to keep her safe.
