She has always known the sea would take something from her. She never expected it to take everything.
Elin of Frostwake has spent her life caught between two worlds: bound to the land by love, but called to the sea by blood.
When pirates seize her twin brother, Elin trades her selkie pelt for his life—and loses him anyway.
Stripped of her birthright and left with nothing but grief, she joins the Silvamari navy with one purpose: to hunt down the man who destroyed her family.
But aboard the warship Maren, Elin finds more than vengeance. She finds a crew becoming something dangerously like family, a quiet lieutenant who sees beyond her grief, and the possibility of a life she never expected to want.
Yet the sea has never relinquished its claim on her—and some fates cannot be outrun.
Told across three interconnected novellas, The Ice in Our Veins is a dark, folkloric fantasy of selkies, vengeance, found family, and the courage it takes to love in a world determined to take everything.
The Ice in Our Veins is a prequel collection to the Black Tide Trilogy. The story continues in Book One, The Salt in Our Blood.
