A STANDALONE gothic dark fantasy pirate romance re-telling of The Little Mermaid from the New York Times Bestselling Author of Blood Orange.

Princess Maren is a woman with a secret.

When she was just 16-years old, she sold her soul to the sea witch Edonia, giving up a life underwater in exchange for the love of Prince Aerik on land. But after a decade of abuse and misery inflicted by the cruel prince, Maren wants nothing more than to leave him and her royal role behind and find Edonia to reverse the spell.

An opportunity for escape presents itself when the prince and princess are traveling overseas and are taken hostage by a band of notorious pirates, led by the fearsome Captain Ramsay "Bones" Battista. Maren has heard the sordid stories about the infamous pirate--not only is his ship supposedly haunted and crewed by the damned, but that no prisoners ever survive. Fortunately for Maren, she learns that the captain also has a score to settle with the sea witch. With any luck, Maren may be able to get her old life back, even if it's being held in the captain's wicked hands.

But Ramsay gets more than he bargained for when he learns who--and what--Maren is, and that her appetite for revenge, freedom, and bloodlust rivals his.

Meanwhile Maren finds herself falling for the pirate's dark nature, even as she discovers that Ramsay has a secret more deadly than her own.

When it comes to the high seas, not all monsters lurk beneath the surface.

Content Warning: Though this is a fantasy, it is also a dark(ISH) romance with potential triggers. A full list can be found inside the book and is also pasted below (so that you can make an informed decision to request to read):

Hello dear reader! If you are thinking about reading this book, there are a few things you should know before you make the decision to.
One is that though I did a lot of research and did my best to be as accurate as possible with aspects of the the pirate life, old ships, nautical terms, etc, I may have taken a few liberties here and there for this fantasy.
Two, and this is an important one, this book is a dark romance. Let me clarify: If you are a dark romance reader, this is probably just “dark-ish” to you (so don’t get your hopes up expecting something deranged…it’s on the lighter side of dark). 
However, it must be said because if people pick up this book thinking it’s going to be like The Little Mermaid or Pirates of the Caribbean with a bit of PG-13 spice or healthy romance in it, they are in for a rude awakening. A Ship of Bones & Teeth is very adult and there’s a lot of sex and cursing and a romance that might be considered “unhealthy” by some. In fact, there are some things in the content that I need to particularly warn you about…
The book contains the following triggers: physical and emotional domestic abuse on page (not by the MC), suicidal ideation, death of a loved one, blood, gore, senseless violence, witchcraft, dubious consent within uneven power dynamics, hero who is very possessive, predatory and rough-handed with the heroine (he brands her with a hot iron, just saying) and their romance could possibly be labeled “toxic” (again, he is a pirate and she is a monster), explicit dirty talk, and all characters are very morally gray and flawed in general, of course there’s murder, torture, blasphemous cursing and foul language, abuse of power, and graphic sex scenes which feature spanking, ropes, bondage (in chains), being gagged, captive and captor situations, primal kink, and some might even deride this book to be “dark fantasy porn.” 
I don’t want to oversell the sexual content here because it’s truly not the basis of the book, but I know many people are sensitive to gratuitous sex scenes, dark romance themes, and possessive male characters, so I have to make sure this is all spelled out clearly for them so they know exactly what they are getting into when they read this book.
SO…if any of the above annoys you or triggers you in your reading material I suggest you don’t read ASOBAT. I’m serious. Please don’t read this book. I care about your mental health and I also want you to read books you enjoy, not books that will either cause you distress or make you roll your eyes. Life is too short to read a book that you know you won’t like.
HOWEVER…if you are okay with all of the above…step on board, yo-ho! You’re about to set sail on the Nightwind.
