A Sea of Vows And Silence (Naiads of Julie #3) by Whit Stanfield
Until the sea dries up. Until the moon burns out.Celestial events are untouched by mortals. But one dawning morning, in the birth of spring, two sisters force a rare solar eclipse into the sky, silencing the sun to make a desperate plea to the moon.
And the moon—seer, secret-keeper, and goddess of sea and sirens—answers.
Her response summons a rift between Cebrinne and Selena. When the sisters are handed the mission to infiltrate a neighboring siren colony, each latches onto the task, hoping to use it as leverage to appeal to the other.
Drink the blood. Find the stone. And walk the tight rope between love and freedom, protecting those who matter most.
But the tides of fate covet their mysteries, Cebrinne’s oath-master watches their every move with deep suspicion, and the moon has intentions all her own. Soon, the sisters’ lives unravel to a single, clear-cut Deny the Fates. And slowly lose everything.
Or walk directly into the dark embrace of death. And fight for it all.
A Sea of Vows and Silence marks the third dark chapter in The Naiads of Juile series, though the events that take place in this novel occur before the events of Book #1, following siren sisters Selena and Cebrinne on their frantic search for freedom from their cruel master. This raw, emotional romantasy features a dark fairytale setting that blends a shattered Little Mermaid retelling with elements of sisterly bonds, strong feminine ties, unique magic systems, an excruciating slow-burn romance, and quick twists and turns. This book is perfect for readers who love discovering on-page immersion, hopeless pining, extensive world-building, mysterious intrigue, and the disorienting reel that comes after experiencing the whiplash of sudden plot twists.
