Beware the third son of the inland sea — and the thief who stole more than just his compass. Bryn has always chased shiny objects and secrets, diving deep into Fjord Fae legends in search of treasure and myth. But when word spreads of a necklace worth more than gold and glory, she can’t resist the lure. She sets out alone for a remote island, determined to claim it. The theft is the easy part. The escape? That’s where things get complicated. The only vessel leaving the jagged coastline is captained by the one man she vowed never to face again: a ruthless fae prince with a sharp smile and a darker past. A man she left after one night together. A man whose stolen compass still hangs at her hip. Now, with a winter storm closing in and a desperate need to get home, Bryn must choose: freeze on shore or risk everything aboard the ship of the fae she once left. Pirates of the Caribbean meets cold and ancient Nordic waters. The Fae Captain’s Thief is a romantic fantasy with a suave and morally gray captain, a confident and badass fmc, elemental magic, and mystical creatures right out of Nordic folklore. This adult fae romance is perfect for readers of LJ Andrews, Helen Scheuerer, and Frozen (but make it not PG).
