Princess Addie’s skin blisters and boils in the sun. She lives a prisoner’s life: trapped in a dark castle and subjected to the torments of her king-father. Her only solace is her garden, where she teases dying plants into bloom.
Addie’s world is torn up by the roots when she’s married off to Caspian—a bitterly cold selkie king with a voice like ocean wind—who hopes her green thumb will cure his diseased crops. Plunged into an underwater kingdom populated by seal shapeshifters, Addie struggles to survive and to overcome her traumas in this alien place where gardens grow in seawater instead of sunlight. Earning Caspian’s trust depends on it.
And Addie must earn it. Because Addie has a secret mission.
She must steal the Tear of the Selkie—a magical gem, and Caspian’s prized possession—and smuggle it back to her father. Only then will she be granted true freedom . . . even if it means dooming the selkie people to sink beneath the waves forever.
