Overview

There is much to be done when the kingdom isn't looking. Iona Strider is a ruthless pickpocket cursed with a disobedient shadow. Violent, too. Worse, she can't remember who cursed her, or why. But she does know one thing: with each passing day, her control of the shadow dwindles. In her relentless pursuit of answers, she winds up stealing from the wrong man: Captain Liam Blackwater of the Wraith. A man who, according to legend, might just turn the Silver Seas red. Blood-bonded together by a dishonest mistake, Iona begrudgingly teams up with the handsome rogue to embark on a bloody, swashbuckling quest in the hopes that she can break the curse of her shadow once and for all. Alas, it's never that simple. Especially when Liam and Iona can't keep their hands off each other. But as they carve a path through the realm, disastrous secrets of the kingdom are revealed, and when shocking revelations of her true past come to light, Iona must decide whether she is to become the kingdom's villain, or something else of her own making.

Reviews

""Liam and Iona are the epitome of enemies-to-lovers: fierce, stubborn, and constantly clashing in the best possible (and most violent) ways. Their banter is alive with wit and desire, and when sparks finally fly... oh boy, do they explode."" ""Iona is an incredible FMC; I loved her from the very first pages. The mystery surrounding her is delicious to unravel, and Emily has a talent for revealing information in the most gut-wrenching ways. Liam, the MMC, is just as compelling. I haven't seen enemies-to-lovers executed this well in a long time. I hated him, feared him, and loved him-sometimes all on the same page."" ""THIS BOOK!!!! A goddamn MASTERPIECE. There is so much wit, charm, humor, and heartbreak in this book. I'm already frothing at the mouth for the next one. Iona Strider is a perfectly written FMC, but Liam Blackwater stole the show for me, he was well written. They both have such vulnerability and emotion, and their depth is incredible. The magic system itself wasn't new, but it was done in a clever way. The way the relationships grow and the characters develop is so endearing. The plot twists are immaculate, done in a way that makes sense and adds to the story. The ending Phew buddy, I think Emily Blakeney is a genius. Easily an ♾️⭐️ masterpiece, I'm going to think about this for so long."" ""I needed something to pull me out of a book rut and boy did this book do it! Talk about a rollercoaster of feels!! Pirate Romantasy is a trope I never knew I needed until this book. There's adventure, slow burn, passion, SO MUCH WIT and banter and more. The depth that Iona and Liam have is written so beautifully. For this to be a debut series, I am pacing the room for the next one and honestly will just re read this in the mean time to kill my post Blackwater depression."" ""Blackwater is a wickedly clever, wildly engaging read! The quick wit and inventive twists had me hooked from the very first chapter. The MC is fierce and relentless in her quest to understand the mystery of her shadow, but it was her evolving relationship with Blackwater that I loved most. Their enemies-to-lovers arc unfolds with sharp banter, trust, and genuine support as they face multiple challenges. This was my favorite read of the year. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure!"" ""If gritty romantasy is your jam, this is the book for you. This pirate story was full of adventure and mystery with a touching but steamy romance woven in. The intricate world building pays off with a great twist and some truly devastating consequences. I gobbled this book up over a weekend. Can't wait for the next one!""
