Every legend has a beginning. With their freedom on the line, a young woman and a rakish pirate take their fate into their own hands as they attempt to find a lostmythical isle with the power to save their entire world. Saoirse yearns to be powerless.Cursed from childhood with a volatile magic, she's managed to imprison it within, living under constant terror that one day it will break free. And it does, changing everything. Horrified at her loss of control, Saoirse's parents offer her hand to the cold and ruthless Stone King. Knowing she'll never survive such a cruel man, Saoirse realizes there is only one path forward...she must break her curse. On the eve of her wedding, Saoirse seeks out the legendary Wolf of the Wild-Faolan,a feral, silver-tongued pirate. He swears to help rid her of the deadly magic, if she'll use it to locate a lost mythical isle first. Crafted by the slaughtered gods, it's the only land that could absorb her power. But Saoirse knows better than to trust a pirate's word. With the wrath of her disgraced father and scorned betrothed chasing them, Saoirse adds one last condition to protect herself- if Faolan wants her on his ship, he'll have to marry her first.

Kristen Ciccarelli, New York Times bestselling author of Heartless Hunter

Strikingly beautiful and as romantic as the sea itself, this gorgeous fantasy debut has both the lure of a song and the power of a tide.
Brittany Arena, author of A Dance of Lies

"Soulgazer is the epic pirate romantasy of my dreams. Maggie Rapiers debut combines immersive worldbuilding, heroic adventure, and steamy romance effortlessly. Her poetic prose enhanced every element of the story, bringing it to life with lush metaphors and a dreamy cadence so beautiful I couldnt help but think I was standing next to the characters through every twist and turn. Saoirse's journey of self-discovery and empowerment had me rooting for her from page one. Her serious, sorrowful beginning paired with Faolans flirtatious banter, storytelling prowess, and tender care for his wife-of-convenience left me swooning. Hes a love interest unlike any Ive read before, which made him all the more captivating! The chemistry flew off the page and had me racing through the chapters late into the night, desperate to discover how it ended. I cannot wait to read Rapiers next book!"
Alexandra Kennington, author of Blood Beneath the Snow

"Rapier's wild-hearted debut embraces rich mythology and thorny generational inheritances. Equal parts ferocious, sensitive, and sexy, Soulgazer will draw you into its hypnotic currents."
Isabel Agajanian, author of Modern Divination

Every page brims with fathomless atmosphere and captivating, untethered magic. Deeply romantic and ethereally written, Soulgazer will hook you and leave you desperate for more.
Kalie Cassidy, author of In the Veins of the Drowning

Author Bio

Born in the South with a healthy streak of wanderlust, Maggie Rapier is an incurable romantic who loves nothing more than wordplay and witchcraft-except, perhaps, her sourdough starter. When she's not marketing French antiques or writing about moody girls and sexy pirates, you can find her wandering in the woods with a basket in hand.
