Thora was raised to believe storms were only weather. But when the lighthouse fails and the sea itself comes for her, she discovers the truth: every seven years, her town feeds the ocean a human life to keep an ancient Sleeper at bay. This year, that sacrifice is her. Vorthan, the silver-eyed stranger who returns with the storm, isn't the monster she's been warned about-he's the key to ending the cycle. Bound by blood and secrets, he reveals she has lived and died countless times before, each incarnation sacrificed to appease the deep. As gods rise from the abyss and the truth of her past lives unravels, Thora must decide: cling to her fragile humanity, or embrace the storm-born power awakening within her. Because this time, she isn't just fighting for survival-she's fighting to rewrite destiny itself. Fans of romantasy, gothic atmosphere, and enemies-to-lovers with cosmic stakes will devour Forbidden Storm Kiss, the first in a sweeping new saga of love, sacrifice, and storms older than time.
