Synopsis

Beware the waters. The dangerous deep brings ruin to all.

Emme has spent her life avoiding anything to do with pirates. But the fates are cruel, and now a hidden sickness leads her to partner with pirates for the one thing that can save her—a cure on an island none are certain exists.

The pirate captain’s secrets are darker than the deep and threaten to kill them all. His obligations are tinged with betrayal, for his oathbind must be fulfilled. To ignore it is to invite peril of unimaginable destruction.

As the adventure unfolds, the sea takes more than she expects and the sea gives more than he wants.

This was the sort of book that I stayed up late writing, couldn't get out of my head, words flowed onto the paper, and I felt so deeply in my heart.

A-MAZE-ING I have potentially found my new favorite book boyfriend, who is somehow a wholesome murderer…? 😅 What I mean is he’s a pirate who doesn’t kill for the fun of it. Watching Arn fall in love with Emme and Emme fall in love with Arn was so so precious, and THE SLOW BURN 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 But as much as I......more

The high seas could only bring ruin. Beware. I wasn't a pirate. I wasn't my mother. Pirates, sea monsters, ghost ships, mermaids, mysterious islands, mutiny, this book has everything a high seas adventure needs and then some. Cursed treasure? Check. Life-altering stakes? Check.

Quotes

“Full of magic and romance, Oathbound is a swashbuckling adventure that will leave you breathless!” — Casey L. Bond, author of House of Eclipses

“A binding contract, a deadly illness, a mysterious treasure, and a deadly mission aboard the Royal Rose, Oathbound is hauntingly enchanted. A perfect read for the sea-lover in us all!” — Danielle Harrington, award-winning author of the Hollis Timewire Series

"In this nautical fantasy McCombs keeps the stakes high, maintaining a melodramatic dynamic between the protagonists that emphasizes their youth and relative inexperience against more seasoned enemies, and tracing Emme’s progressive weakness alongside the face of a threat of mutiny."

"This story has all the beloved elements of a classic pirate tale, including ferocious sea monsters, captivating merfolk, legendary treasure troves, and haunting black ships."

"What sets the story apart is the charmingly flawed cast of characters."
