A Keeper of the magical plant Crocus, Ione’s heart beats only for Leif, the Crown Prince of Aquosvegna.
Their love is forbidden though, for no Keeper can ever become Queen. Desperate for them to be together, Ione conspires with the Prince to poison his father at the Water Kingdom’s Decennial Games.
But once he becomes King, she finds herself scorned, accused as a murderess, and sentenced to death. Heartbroken and with child, she learns to harness the power of the Crocus with the use of a stolen book of mystical concoctions.
She vows to do anything to exact eternal revenge on the lover who deceived her — but at what terrible cost?
IONE: A SEA WITCH’S TALE is the Prequel to AQUOSVEGNA: THE WATER KINGDOM Trilogy.
