Princess Nerida was swapped at birth and raised in poverty for eighteen years. Upon returning to the royal court, she played the fragile victim while secretly orchestrating every move. She outmaneuvered the false princess Sirena and her foolish brother Ares at every turn—and seduced the icy Prince Cassian, turning him into her most powerful ally. From a family outcast to overthrowing her foster mother's clan, exposing the truth of her birth, and ultimately claiming the crown—she took back everything that was rightfully hers, rising as the supreme queen of the sea.
