The sea does not forgive.
It devours, it tempts, it binds.

Alex never believed the old sailor stories about voices beneath the waves—songs that lured men to their deaths, predators who glittered like gemstones, and kingdoms that ruled unseen. But when a storm tears his ship apart and drags him beneath the surface, survival comes with a price he never could have imagined.

Pulled from the abyss by Kael, an emerald-scaled warrior, Alex breathes air where none should exist. The rescue should have ended with life restored. Instead, it forges a bond: one breath shared, one soul entangled, one law that marks him prey and protected in equal measure.

Kael's defiance of his kind paints a target on them both. The hunters of the reef see Alex as nothing but meat, a mortal body whose blood can stir hungers too deep to deny. The only thing that keeps their teeth from closing is the ancient law of claim—a fragile protection that can be broken as easily as bone.

But danger wears more than one face. Lysander, the Crimson-Silver Prince, offers sanctuary under his banner, a place in a world where humans are rarely allowed to live. Yet his promise is laced with ritual and chains that glimmer like salvation. Between Kael's fierce loyalty and Lysander's ruthless charm, Alex finds himself caught in a current of desire and power that threatens to drown him.

As he struggles to understand the law of breath, the blood-tasting rites, and the whispers of a prophecy bound to his veins, Alex discovers that survival is more than staying alive. The sea remembers every drop of blood. The Spiral Stone waits for a song to awaken it. And the bond he never chose may be the only thing strong enough to challenge fate itself.

Rift Song is an M/M romantasy of forbidden bonds, dangerous vows, and love that dares to grow where it should not. It blends the intimacy of queer romance with the tension of epic fantasy, creating a story where kingdoms rise and fall on the edge of desire. Perfect for readers who crave:

In the depths, breath is currency. Blood is song. And love is the one vow that can defy the tide.

Step into the ocean's embrace. Listen to the rift. The song has already begun.
