Rise with the Tide

"e;I am whole . . . when I am with you."e;The words were all Destin needed to carry him forward in his life, over any expanse of ocean.Feuding kingdoms span an isolated archipelago, where humans are the rare exception, and werewolves rule both the elements and the isles. Adriana serves at the whim of the wolves, a human whose children have been taken from her to be raised in the same servitude. Recent years have found her in the arms and the heart of a wolf, an Oceanborn ship captain named Destin whose power is found in ruling water as one of its masters. Destin is a son of the nobility, but has no love for the reigning queen and her consort. Having murdered his parents and brother only a year ago, he plots with his surviving siblings and his human lover to stage a revolution, claiming vengeance for their dead and freedom for them all. "e;You can have all you want from me, Adriana. Everything. Everything I have to give you, it's yours. Take it. Take it all."e;The Isles, and Melyssa's tyrannical rule over them, offer only servitude and death. Rebellion is a risk, but with a life of their choosing as the reward, it is a risk worth taking.
