From the New York Times bestselling author of The Winter King
comes a breathtaking new tale of love and adventure set in the mystical
land of Mystral
He wasn't supposed to choose her...
Seafaring prince Dilys Merimydion has been invited to court the three
magical princesses of Summerlea. To eradicate the pirates threatening
Calberna and to secure the power of the Sea Throne, Dilys vows to return
home with a fierce warrior-queen as his bride. But politics has nothing
to do with unexpected temptation.
She didn't dare wed him...
A weathermage like her sisters, Gabriella Coruscate's gentleness
exemplifies the qualities of her season name, Summer. Yet her quiet
poise conceals dangerous powers she cannot begin to wield. Better to
live without excitement, she reasons, than risk her heart and lose
control--until an irresistible Sealord jolts her awake with a
thunderclap of raw desire.
Until evil threatens everything they hold dear...
When pirates kidnap Summer and her sisters, Dilys begins a desperate
quest to save the woman he loves. Only by combining his command of the
seas with the unleashed fury of Summer's formidable gifts can they
defeat their brutal enemies and claim the most priceless victory of all:
true love.
