The Wine-Dark Throne (The Wine-Dark Series, Book 2)

Betrayed by fate. Tangled in prophecy. Foolishly mortal.

Her quest for royal purification complete, preparations for Desma’s forced marriage to the Prince of Koriithos are underway. Separated from her crew, haunted by memories of what she’s lost, and tortured by thoughts of what’s to come, Desma turns to her sole companion - wine. But when wine becomes blood, a taste of freedom is offered at a cost.

As Desma fights to become the queen Koriithos demands, Cela feels set adrift. Until a chance encounter in the belly of the palace, with a mysterious woman who knows more than she should, sets her upon a new path.

Across the sea, a visit from a charming merchant sparks Mynta’s ambition. She seizes the opportunity, pitting herself against her role in Trilosii society. Soon confronted with failure, Mynta will need to rely on more than gold if she is to defy expectations.

The three must navigate their separate paths during a time of divine upheaval, when the fates of gods and mortals alike become game pieces in the politics of power…
