A second-world Regency Era fantasy romance and a gothic reimagining of the Age of Sail, inspired by the found-family spirit of tabletop RPG storytelling, and written as a heartfelt tribute to classic historical romance novels. In the magic-fueled port city of Fabinmore—where law is a mere suggestion, and the church bears the sharpest claws—three star-crossed souls are running from a tempest, and none of them is fast enough. Aisengale Mythrien was once a decorated captain in the Royal Elven Navy, now living in disgrace and exile after the staggering loss of his family. He works as a common surgeon by day, and by night trades in forbidden magic, burying his grief beneath trickery, sin, and a vendetta pact he’s desperate to break. Evelyn Venturi, a seasoned midwife and reluctant priestess, has spent her life in servitude and debt to the very house of nobility Aisen swore vengeance against. She carries an outlawed gift of her own—one that could unravel the careful life she’s built, unless she yields to a bargain with the same dark power that already holds Aisen in its grip. Once separated by political rivalry after a single night of forbidden passion, Aisen and Evelyn are given a second chance, seven years later…in defiance of their deepest vows, and at risk of everything they’ve rebuilt since. Then Oliver Kinleigh arrives—the elven naval commander Aisen once loved and lost, carrying a decade of unresolved longing like an anchor, and orders that could see Aisen hanged. Aisen, Evelyn, and Oliver each carry a truth that could undo everything they're working to heal, just as the city teeters on the edge of revolution. Old wounds bleed into new ones. And an ancient relic surfaces that may be the key to everything Aisen has lost...including Oliver. But what the sea takes, love will refuse to surrender. A gaslamp fantasy romance of second chances, forbidden magic, and a love that defies the stars. For readers who crave slow-burn tension, morally complex heroes, found family, and queer, expansive love written with care. In the vein of Carnival Row’s smoky aesthetics, with the mischievous, devoted romance of The Artful Dodger and the queer historical fantasy of The Magpie Lord. As Boundless as the Sea is Book One of a planned MMFF trilogy. This installment centers the bi4bi MF romance between Aisen and Evelyn, with the romances between Aisen, Oliver, Evelyn, and Bemere presented in epistolary, flashbacks, and vignettes.
