About Claimed by the Deep: A Song for Three Tides

The ocean doesn't just keep secrets. It chooses them. Dr. Lyra Vasen is a brilliant deep-sea marine biologist who prefers her subjects behind reinforced glass. But when her research vessel is swallowed by an impossible storm, she washes ashore on an uncharted, unnavigable island. She is not alone. The island is inhabited by three ancient, terrifyingly beautiful sea-gods: Kael, the immovable tectonic guardian; Ren, a quicksilver observer with bioluminescent skin; and Sable, the silent watcher from the abyss. They don't want to kill her. They want to keep her. The ocean itself has selected Lyra for a purpose she cannot fathom, and as she uses her scientific methodology to survive, she discovers a dark, magnetic pull toward the very beings she should fear. But the island doesn't trap its prisoners—it holds them only as long as they consent. When an external threat breaches the island's fold, Lyra must make an irreversible choice: return to the safe, logical human world she fought so hard to build, or surrender to the deep and the three ancient gods who claim her as their own. Claimed by the Deep is a standalone, full-length Dark Romantasy and Reverse Harem (Why Choose) Monster Romance. Perfect for fans of high-stakes tension, unearthly alpha males, and fiercely intelligent heroines.
