Cursed by love

Doomed never to speak.

Cursed by memories

Doomed always to forget.

After being left by her first love, Merri Caspiana has fallen for a commoner who lives by Kerilow Bay. The only problem is that she's bound by the sea. When she bargains with the sea witch for a pair of legs, it comes at a graver cost than she realizes. Just when she's learning how to walk, a terrible prophecy is brought to light. The prince of Windkeep, Chaera is in grave danger, and to ensure his safety, all maidens must be sent away from the kingdom until the prince's eighteenth year has passed.

Prince Olivander Daws is set to claim the throne when he comes of age, but he never gets the chance. When he suddenly loses his memory, and in turn is forgotten by all those who know him, he's cast off to a distant land while the one he left behind is turning to ruins.

In the small town of Tenby, Wales, a lighthouse keeper named Jac Hughes thinks he's going crazy. He's been having recurring dreams of a foreign prince and a sea maiden whom he's never met before. And he'll do just about anything to figure out why.

Something dangerous and sinister is on the rise in Windkeep Citadel and Kerilow Bay, but in this YA portal fantasy where Narnia meets The Little Mermaid and ABC's Once Upon a Time, Olivander, Merri, and Jac will learn that even darkness must bend to the light.
