Sacrificed to her King Novel

The Mortal Realm once flourished with magic, but has since faded into a mere shadow of its legendary past. For Noelle, an orphan who has only known hardship and loneliness, magic exists solely in books. Her dreams of adventure seem distant until her eighteenth birthday arrives, when she is selected as a sacrifice to the King of the Sea—a fearsome ruler known for his cruelty and lack of compassion. Each year, he demands a virgin sacrifice from the realm. Unprepared and uncertain of her fate, Noelle is thrust into this mysterious kingdom where she begins to uncover secrets about herself and the world around her. As she navigates a realm of magic, temptation, and desire, her sharp tongue and spirited nature draw conflict. Will she discover her true destiny, or will she be consumed by the darkness she encounters?
