Brynn has spent her entire life training as a guard among the Alaha, a community exiled to the sea by the powerful Kenta. She believes she knows exactly where she belongs—until a routine trip to the Kenta’s annual market turns into a disaster. After inadvertently breaking a century-long peace treaty, Brynn finds herself in the crosshairs of an enigmatic rival soldier. This stranger is bound by an oath to drag her back to her origins, forcing her to confront a hidden history she never knew existed. Featuring a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers dynamic, the story thrusts Brynn into a dangerous journey across the high seas. As she narrowly escapes death, she discovers a world of forbidden magic and realizes her entire identity is built on lies.

With the tension between them mounting, Brynn must choose between the life she has always defended and a truth that threatens to destroy everything she loves. *Metal Slinger* is an addictive, action-packed romantasy debut filled with political intrigue, sharp-edged knife fights, and shocking twists that will leave readers desperate for the sequel.
