Idols and Infamy by Essie Suter

A selkie without her seal is like half a person. I might have my skin back, but everything else is falling apart.

After reclaiming my stolen skin and mate, the pirates and I should be celebrating. Instead, we are on a remote island facing the aftermath of our victory. The magic that bound me to my mates was a lie. My skin, though returned, holds no power. And my ex-mates are acting strangely, like every one of them is hiding a secret.

But the real problem is we don’t know who to trust. The crew are wanted men, and the king’s forces are closing in. With my magic gone and the bonds between us broken, can we fix this mess, or will our secrets destroy us?

A cosy, magical romantasy with pirates, shifters, and a whole lot of heart.
