A relic lost to the sea. A girl taken in chains. A prince sworn to a world built on blood and control.
Liora Dawn was raised among the Eliri, where survival is shared, and the ocean remembers what the world has drowned. When she pulls a crystalline relic from the ruins below, everything she loves is destroyed in the raid that follows.
The Sovereign Dominion calls the relic the Bone Oracle—an artifact sealed since the Great Deluge, capable of exposing truths the ruling bloodlines would kill to keep buried. Liora is taken to Twilight City, the heart of Sovereign power, where dusk never lifts, and obedience is law.
Her captor is Prince Slade Thorne—Blood Sovereign, heir to the Dominion, and the man who commanded the forces that shattered her life. Cold, disciplined, and bound by duty, Slade believes order is the only thing holding the world together. Liora believes he is her enemy.
But the Bone Oracle responds to her blood, marking her as something the Dominion cannot explain—or erase. As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, hostility sharpens into a dangerous, forbidden pull that threatens them both.
Because in a world ruled by control, desire is rebellion—and love may be the one thing powerful enough to bring an empire down.
An imaginative new Romantasy by New York Times Bestselling Author Tanya Anne Crosby, Ruin of Salt and Bone is the first book in The Sovereign Dominion epic, a dark New Adult romantasy featuring slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, political captivity, iron dragons, and the ruins of a drowned Earth.
