Ocean of Sin and Starlight: A Dark Romantasy (Nightwind Book 2)

A century of prayer and self-denial stands between a monster and his humanity — until a siren opens her mouth and destroys everything.

After a hundred years locked away in a remote monastery, atoning for a past soaked in blood, he is finally close to breaking his curse. The darkness that once drove him to unspeakable violence has been caged, discipline by brutal discipline, vow by sacred vow. He is almost free. Then Larimar finds him.

The siren doesn't just tempt him — she unravels him. One encounter with her haunting voice and her ancient, dangerous eyes, and every hard-won wall he built comes crashing down. He can feel his monstrous nature clawing back to the surface, hungry and patient and utterly focused on her.

So he does the only reasonable thing a man on the edge of salvation can do: he joins the legendary pirate crew of the *Nightwind* to hunt her across the dark seas.

What follows is a gothic romantasy of obsession and ruin, set against storm-lashed waters and moonlit decks where faith and predatory instinct wage war for the same soul. The enemies-to-lovers tension between these two is suffocating in the best possible way — a former holy man who wants to destroy her and a siren who refuses to be caught, circling each other through shadow and salt and something far more dangerous than hate.

Some prayers should never be answered. Some sirens should never be found. Neither of them gets a choice.
