Drowned in the Name of LoveRut S. Díaz2025

IN THE HEART OF THE NINE SEAS, LOYALTY IS A WEAPON, AND LOVE IS A RISK NONE SURVIVE UNSCATHED.

The tragic murder of her father, the famed Pirate King - and the revolutionary waves it left behind - bound Donna Balboa to a life of privilege within the oppressive walls of Tidia's court. For years, she's felt trapped in the place she once called home, secretly breaking a forbidden law that keeps nobles from the shore and ships from the sea.
Yet each night, she risks everything to chase her only dream: to sail the seas as a pirate, just as her father once did.
But the call of the waves is undeniable, whispering of something greater beyond the horizon. And after years of praying to the heavens, an unexpected twist shatters what should have been the most important day of her life, entangling her with the crew of a notorious ship - and its infamous, wanted captain. A captain haunted by a past that even the Gods seem unwilling to forgive, and as their bond deepens, so do the nightmares and omens that threaten to expose secrets which could doom any chance at what Donna believes could be love.

Pursued by Kingdoms for embracing the pirate code, Donna Balboa must navigate treacherous waters, caught in tides of vengeance and ancient mysteries. When she discovers she holds the key to unlocking a power the Gods themselves seem to fear, Donna must decide where her true allegiance lies.

BUT THE GODS AND THE SEAS ARE FICKLE, AND LOVE, VENGEANCE, AND SURVIVAL DON'T ALWAYS SAIL THE SAME COURSE.
