They stole his crown. So, he stole their daughter…
For years Erik, the scarred king of the Ever Kingdom, has thought of nothing but vengeance against the man who killed his father and trapped him beneath the waves, making him a prisoner in his own realm.
Until his enemy's daughter unintentionally breaks the chains on the Ever, and Erik makes her the unwitting pawn in his vicious game of revenge.
She's innocent. He's vicious. But he will take back what he lost, no matter the price.
Unless she steals his heart first.
Welcome to the passionate world of the Ever Kingdom where pirates, sirens, and fae collide with Vikings in a dark fantasy romance between a villain and the innocent princess who holds his heart.

im obsessed
probably more like 2.5 stars but i tore through it so
Okay, this wasn't hot garbage, but I can't think of many positive things to say about it, so maybe room-temperature garbage. Sightly steaming. The name of the game after 50% was
heavy skimming. I had to see how the author would end this thing, so despite any finer details that might've fallen to the wayside, I think I've got a pretty good picture of the story.
My main issue is this — why did Erik and Livia fall in "love"?? I don't think they have a single thing in common aside from being dumb and horny, and none of their conversations felt real. The author really said, "Oooh, a hot pirate king and his enemy's daughter *wink wink* — NOW KITH!"
I genuinely couldn't give a crap about any of the characters introduced in this book, and the only reason it's getting two stars instead of one is that it at least entertained me for the first half after I turned off my brain a bit. If you loved this book (which the majority seem to) — fabulous. Congratulations on finding a new 5-star read. If you hated this book — welcome to the club. I really need to stop reading books I find out about on TikTok. That is where braincells go to die.
