On the run from a dangerous captor and years of abuse, she’s shed her tail, grown legs, and hidden herself on land in the merrow-loathing kingdom of Mortia, left to steal and barter on the dirty streets. But her freedom is short-lived when she’s caught and sentenced to death by the brutal warlock, Arion Stone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArion is as beautiful as he is cold and deadly, only interested in punishing the merrow he views as evil.

With no other options, Zephyra agrees, entangling their souls and forbidden desires in a magical bargain until death do they part. But Zephyra’s past is catching up to her, and the enemy she fled seeks vengeance. If Zephyra and Arion can’t learn to fight together—and trust each other—there are worse things awaiting them than just death. Of course, in the wicked sea, everyone has secrets, and no one should be trusted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, winged romantic leads, and forced proximity, this is an experience you do not want to miss!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9780593497210 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-in-series\"\u003e\u003ca id=\"alsoinseries\" name=\"#alsoinseries\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Once Upon a Book Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51888965255469,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/8847\/0580\/files\/WickedSea_PreOrder.png?v=1772671894","url":"https:\/\/www.onceuponabookclub.com\/en-ca\/products\/ouabc-lite-the-wicked-sea-by-jordan-stephanie-gray","provider":"Once Upon a Book Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
