Description: The Alayan Series is a sweeping YA/NA historical fantasy adventure filled with secrets, danger, and slow-burn romance set against a richly imagined regency-era world. In Emerald of the Sea, seventeen-year-old Emma escapes the only life she’s ever known aboard a merchant ship after a deadly mutiny, only to find herself on the run with a charming naval officer she shouldn’t fall for. Meanwhile, noble-born Maggie struggles between duty and forbidden love for the boy who’s always been by her side. As their paths intertwine and hidden truths surface, their choices will shape the fate of an entire coast.
