Ocean of Sin and Starlight: A Dark Romantasy (Nightwind) by Karina Halle

PRIEST. PIRATE. MONSTER. From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes Ocean of Sin and Starlight, a dark-fantasy romance with morally gray pirates and monstrous sirens, a standalone spinoff of A Ship of Bones and Teeth. I wasn’t always a monster. Once upon a time I had a family, a home, dreams. Until it was taken away from me and I was turned into a creature only the Devil could love, cursed with bloodlust and immortality.

Now I’m obsessed with tracking Larimar down, joining an infamous pirate crew on their ship the Nightwind as we search the high seas for any sign of her. I don’t know what I’ll do when I find her. But I know she belongs to me. And I’ll become a monster once more. Read more
