INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
Set sail for adventure and love in the next spicy fantasy romance from Katee Robert, the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok smash hit Neon Gods.
As a bloodline vampire, Lizzie has never had a problem taking what she wants, and right now what she wants are the family heirlooms that were stolen from her and a portal home. Too bad even that short list is impossible to accomplish on her own—and her allies have bigger things to worry about.
When they rescue a selkie from captivity, it’s the perfect solution to her problem. Lizzie needs a guide through Threshold and the selkie needs someone to help her get her skin back. Maeve didn’t choose to give up her skin—it was stolen from her. Now she’s in an uneasy partnership with a dangerous woman who seems more apt to kill than to share a kind word. It’s terrifying…and a bit alluring. Even though she knows it will end in heartbreak, Maeve can’t help being drawn to Lizzie and her all-too-pleasurable vampire bite.
Unfortunately, the danger to Maeve’s heart is the least of her worries. The ship Lizzie’s chasing belongs to the Cŵn Annwn, and they don’t take kindly to people who steal from them. Not even Lizzie’s viciousness or Maeve’s selkie strength will be enough to save them if the Cŵn Annwn seek retribution…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Robert returns to the magic-tinged world of Hunt on Dark Waters for another sizzling tale of swashbuckling adventure. Vampire Lizzie followed her ex-girlfriend Evelyn through a magical portal into the otherworldly oceanic realm of Threshold, where she's been roped into Evelyn's new pirate crew on the Audacity, reluctantly joining their brewing rebellion against the Cŵn Annwn, the corrupt organization of monster-hunting peacekeepers who rule Threshold. In reality, Lizzie just wants to find her stolen family jewels and go home. After the ship rescues selkie Maeve, a curvaceous rebellion spy whose seal skin was stolen, Lizzie sees a potential ally. The two set out on their own, determined to do whatever it takes, from killing monsters to stealing ships, to retrieve their property. In the process, they yield to their surprising chemistry, allowing their partnership to take a distinctly erotic turn. (It helps that Lizzie's vampire bites prove literally orgasmic.) Even as romance blossoms, however, they can see their inevitable separation on the horizon: Maeve is committed to the rebellion and Lizzie is not. Robert makes it easy to dive into this installment as a standalone, but the tight focus on the romantic pairing leaves little room for worldbuilding or progression of the larger series plot. Still, the heroines' sexy seafaring antics will be more than enough to please Robert's fans.
