The books in order
3 books
Book 1Start here
In a sinking city of a hundred islands, Liora Vasca, who reads salt, is bound by an ancient law to marry Aurel Corvane, the Warden of the Seawall whose testimony sent her father to his death. She marries him to save her dying brother. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy.
Book 2
When salt begins to obey Liora Vasca rather than the pans, an old oath wakes, and every wave that strikes Solmarre draws brine from her body. The Keeper names two ways to end it. Both cost more than she can bring herself to say.
Book 3
A lighterman drowns in shallow, still water in Solmarre, and more deaths follow where no one should drown. Liora and Aurel Corvane learn that the sea is owed lives, and that it is working through a list.

About Sable Wren
Sable Wren writes romantic fantasy about bargains that bind. In the drowning canal city of Solmarre, two hated Houses of salt-magic are ordered to marry or watch the tide-wards fail and the sea take the lower quarters. One of them lost a father to the other’s testimony. Now they share a palazzo, a vow with teeth in it, and a city that will drown if they cannot work together.
