On an island shaped by conquest, survival, and ancient magic, a forgotten legend is about to rise from the sea.
Puerto Rico, 1687.
Lily has spent her life learning how to survive in a world that has never truly belonged to her. Born with a connection to the sea she cannot explain and haunted by secrets she was never meant to uncover, she has learned to keep her head down and her heart guarded.
Until Stone arrives.
A feared pirate captain with a reputation for violence and a past buried beneath years of bloodshed, Stone is not the kind of man Lily should trust. But when their paths collide, he offers her something no one else ever has: a chance to choose her own fate.
What begins as an unlikely alliance soon becomes something far more dangerous.
As Lily is drawn deeper into Stone's world, she discovers that the island's history is not the story she was taught. Beneath Spanish rule lies the memory of a people who refused to disappear. Ancient Taíno legends, African traditions, Spanish conquest, and the brutal world of piracy intertwine as whispers of a lost treasure begin to surface.
At the center of it all is a legend known as La Flor del Mar.
With enemies closing in, loyalties being tested, and secrets from the past threatening to destroy everything they have built, Lily and Stone must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for freedom-and for each other.
Because the greatest treasure hidden on the island may not be gold.
It may be the truth.
La Flor del Mar is a dark fantasy romance steeped in Puerto Rican history and folklore, where pirates sail alongside ancient legends, cultures collide, and love emerges in the most unexpected of places.
