In a world ruled by human mages, I'm an orphan without magic, living under the thumb of my heartless stepfather. When he sells me into indentured servitude at Darkstone Academy for the Magical Arts, I find myself far from home and surrounded by dangerous enemies.

The human students here are the rejects from other academies. And then there are the supernaturals, diplomatic hostages who hate humans and aren't shy about showing it.

But then I meet three powerful supernatural guys who don't want to be here either. They will do anything to keep Darkstone Academy from breaking me.

The gorgeous but cold merman Lord Tama is a monster who kills without a second thought to protect me.

The dragon Prince Boreas, is fiery and ruggedly handsome. When he tells me he treasures me, it's time to worry. Dragons never let go of treasures from their hoards.

And finally, the beautiful but enigmatic Fae Prince Gwydion is a fellow healer. His skilled kisses leave me wanting more. A lot more. But the Fae are dangerous... especially when you owe them a favor. Like me.

Then, as students and supernaturals begin dying all around us, I'm plunged into a vortex of murder and political intrigue. Are my new protectors the solution to the problem... or the cause?

Maybe I don't have any magic. But I have sharp wits, an unparalleled gift for herbs and potions, and a whole boatload of sheer stubborness. I'm determined to leave Darkstone Academy in one piece and free, no matter what it throws at me.

A Kiss of Salt and Sea is the first volume in a steamy dark academy fantasy romance series. If you love page-turning action, a richly imagined fantasy world, and slow-burn romance with sizzling payoffs, then step through the gates of Darkstone Academy!
