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.
I spent a century in an isolated monastery for other heathens like me, learning to control my most monstrous impulses, becoming a man of faith so I could put my sins behind me.
I was doing so well.
I was almost...human.
Until I met her.
Larimar, the tempting siren who made me forget my vows, who promised herself to me before she escaped my clutches.
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.
