From Little Stack
Greek myth meets Arthurian legend in this poetic and enchanting no-spice, slow-burn romantasy.
Queen Coralys makes a promise to the gods: spare her island from destruction, and she will marry the first man to step foot on her island. That man turns out to be a humble fisherman who seems to not only care nothing for her beauty and power, but actively ignores and belittles her. When she discovers his true identity, she is determined to use him to gain her revenge on the gods who are to blame for her predicament.
Aside from the gorgeous writing, amazing worldbuilding, and well-developed characters, I was more than a little terrified of Coralys as she schemed, plotted, and manipulated her way to vengeance. And trust me when I say the path from enemies to lovers is not a short one, but it’s incredibly well crafted.
Forced by the gods to be wed. Forced by their secrets to be enemies. A desperate queen and a lowly fisherman must join together to save her land in this spellbinding romantasy from Sarah K. L. Wilson.
Queen Coralys, ruler of the Crocus Isles, kneels to no one. But when her kingdom is besieged by a terrible hurricane, killing her husband and destroying half her nation, she is forced to make a deal with the gods for salvation. But the gods have a wicked sense of justice, and they demand payment for their help. Coralys must give up her titles and marry the first man to set foot on her pier: a poor, wounded fisherman with broad shoulders and dark power in his eyes.
Coralys keeps her promise and sets out with him in his dinghy, with only the hope of revenge against the gods to keep her from despair. But her new husband hides his own secrets: a link to the gods that may make him her enemy or her ally, and a mysterious list of impossible feats waiting to be crossed off.
However, learning to trust each other will be their greatest challenge, because only together can they stop the enemies gathering at her kingdom’s shores.
with Sarah K. L. Wilson “ I love bold endings where scores are settled and good triumphs even if my morally grey characters often look like they will never get there. ”
