A woman escaping her pastβ¦
Kristy Gallagher has slayed a monster before. When she could no longer live with her husbandβs abuse, she plunged a knife into his neck. Then, she fled his familyβs criminal empireβchanging her name and traveling to the far reaches of the world, before finding her safe haven in Bali.
Sheβs used to looking over her shoulder but nothing could prepare her for the monster that lurks beyond the shore. Sharp claws, grasping tentaclesβKrakens are real, and their King has decided sheβs to be his bride.
A monster trying to end a curseβ¦
Ordus is King of the Dead Lands, the last Kraken of his bloodline, and the final hope to break a terrible curse that plagues his lands. He must find his destined bride, his soul mate, and marry her to save his kingdom.
His fated mate shouldnβt be a human, but something about her calls to him like no other creature ever has. He drags her to his island, kicking and screaming, begging to be returned to the mainland.
Ordus must convince her heβs not a monster to be feared, but her soul mate who will protect her from anything and anyone who means her harm.
Including his own people.
A dark and delicious tale about what makes a monsterβTHE SALTWATER CURSE is inspired by the Hades/Persephone myth. Only with a lot more tentacles.
Triggers:
Stretching, sex, unconsented voyeurism, cannibalism (Depending on how you look at it), murder, gore, death by tentacles, shark attack (kind of?), kidnapping, health issues, toxic characters, trauma, PTSD, racism (by krakens toward humans).
