Kaitlyn‘s review of The Girl Who Belonged to the Sea (Azantian Trilogy, Book 1) by Katherine Quinn
Young Adult Fantasy published by City Owl Press 28 Sep 22
Soooooo good. Pirates, ancient sea monsters, battling sea gods, a hot swoon worthy king with the sea in his blood. Yes, yes, YES.
Margret is the daughter of a controlling, abusive captain who plans to marry her off to some count for his own personal gain. Bash is the king of an ancient secret island the captain stole something precious from. Bash kidnaps his enemy’s daughter in the hopes of saving his home, except there are larger forces at play.
When @fictionandfate recommends a book, she knows what she’s talking about. I LOVED this story so much. Margret grew stronger and more determined as the story progressed and I was so happy with her transformation. In a shocking twist, no one expected I totally fell for the pirate-y king of the mystical island. My pirate era is in full swing and I could not recommend this book more!
Summary:
One woman chosen by the God of the Sea. A king hellbent on saving his mysterious island home. And a forbidden romance that could destroy them all.
Forced to marry the wealthy Count Casbian by her power-hungry father, Margrete turns to the gods, praying for a life free from the men who wish to rule her. Across the sea, a ruthless immortal answers…
Planning to use Margrete to reclaim a powerful relic stolen from his people, Bash, a devilishly handsome king, kidnaps Margrete on the day of her nuptials. Bringing her to his home, the mystical island of Azantian, it isn’t long before a devastating secret is revealed—one that ties Margrete to the gods themselves.
Drawn to the spirited woman he’s sworn to hate, Bash cannot stay away from Margrete and the passion she ignites within him. When the lines begin to blur, Margrete must make a choice between a fiery love, and saving the realm from the dangerous magic awakening inside of her soul.
