Born with the legacy of Ursula's Pearl embedded in her flesh, Xirvane was never meant to be ordinary. Captured by the deadly orca twins, Port and Starboard-creatures of war, bound by oath and blood-she is dragged in chains to the Thalassian Court: the heart of a lawless, violent sea where gods have drowned and monsters rule. But the ocean never forgot its true heir. As Xirvane endures torment and betrayal, she begins to awaken the ancient magic buried within her. With each of the six Ursula Pearls strung around her neck-and the final one atop her crown-she unravels the curse binding her captors. Love and power intertwine as Port's brute force and Starboard's manipulation twist into devotion. Xirvane rises not just to challenge kings-but to become one. Crowned by blood, tempered by pain, she claims the throne the ocean owes her. And the monsters who once caged her? Now kneel. Together, they will rule a sea reborn in fire, lust, and vengeance.
