Fans of Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass and Naomi Novik's Uprooted will love the characters and slow-burn romance of this complete epic fantasy series!

In a land filled with magic, queens of steel and starlight rise to fight the darkness.

Kinneret’s ability to control the sea is deemed witchcraft. To expose her powers would mean death. But when her sister is kidnapped, she has no choice but to risk everything to save the only family she has left.

Now, she finds herself seeking a legendary treasure for a vicious ruler in exchange for the warriors needed for the rescue mission.

Kinneret never wanted to expose her magic. But when it’s all she has left, she’ll make sure her enemies know the wrath of the ocean.

This series includes four books, three standalone and a fourth that brings all the characters together in an epic conclusion. *Formerly published as the Uncommon World series and includes the titles Waters of Salt and Sin, Fever of Sun and Soul, Plains of Sand and Steel, and Forest of Silver and Secrets. This edition is freshly edited and contains new character art!

"This series was AMAZING! I loved their lives, I felt so entangled I couldn't stop. I keep finding myself stopping around 1am (I don't get much time to read with a baby clung to me, judge away) when I have to be up at 6am. Even in my sleep the books continue and take on new twists and turns because my mind just can't stand to be away from the lands so beautifully entwined within the pages!" ~Kindle Customer Review

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Inspired by history surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and beyond, I wrote this series over the course of several years. I wanted to create a world that felt real and focus on more personal stakes rather than having the characters save the world at large. Eventually, the stories unite and do indeed blossom into the realm of epic stakes, but I hope you feel as attached to the outcome as I did writing it. If you'd like a free prequel to this series and a few other reads from me, join my newsletter at alishaklapheke.com/free-prequel-1In 2021, I'll release a new fantasy romance series and I hope you'll check it out. Details will be in my newsletter as well. Thanks for reading!Alisha

Author Q and A with Alisha

What is your favorite thing about writing?

Hm. Probably researching history for inspiration and crafting new cultures that echo what it is to be a human within varying settings.

What are your favorite fantasy and paranormal authors?

There are so many! I love Tamora Pierce, Leigh Bardugo, Sabaa Tahir, Kristin Cashore, Mercedes Lackey, Juliet Marillier, Deborah Harkness, Diana Gabaldon, JRR Tolkien, Maggie Stiefvater, Cassandra Clare, George RR Martin (but I could do without some of the roughest parts), and Sarah J Maas.

What has helped you so far on your journey as an author?

I joined my local RWA and SCBWI groups and met friends that have taught me, laughed with me, and cried with me. You really can't do this job alone. Not if you want to remain sane. Also, my husband and family are super supportive. It takes a long time to develop writing skills and they had my back the entire time. My husband has the patience of a saint. Seriously, I might put him up for that.

Do you have any advice for writers just starting out?

Grow skin on level with your average Nile crocodile. You are going to get hit in the metaphorical face often. Hard. But if you can get over yourself, you'll learn from it. Stay humble. Keep on trucking. Take a day off and travel sometimes. You must fill the tank to do this. Sorry for two vehicle-related metaphors in the same answer. My b.

This series was full of interwoven stories that was fun to read. Friendships, battles, and adventures with characters that pull you into their stories and leave you wanting more,

I really enjoyed this quartet of books. The second one didn’t thrill me as much as the others, and the third was particularly long, but I enjoyed all of them. The description covers only the events of the first book. Be prepared for events to take unexpected turns! Hardly anything turned out how I expected, starting off fairly early in the first book. I really enjoyed the characters and their growth and their world in this set of four tales. The third book really switches to a new set of characters and it was a fascinating switch. I really recommend these four books.

Wonderful Mixture of Adventures

I was startled when I came to the end because I wasn't ready to stop reading! Unlike so many books with multiple characters, each unique personality was endearing or convincingly evil. Alisha Klapheke is such an outstanding author. I certainly hope that the characters in this series show up in future books.

Very good, clean and complex storytelling for all ages (12 +?)

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed this series! I bought it as a bundled offering. These are complex and detailed stories, sure to delight anyone who enjoys magic and world-building that is novel and completely different from anything familiar. The introduction of "salt witches" "fire prayers" and many other new and exciting elements as whole and complete lore that is introduced without long exposition is advanced word craft indeed.
if I were to seek more polish from this author, it would be to encourage more diversity in the dialogue voices from unique characters. Without the use of accents it could be possible to differentiate between a sailor's clipped quick speech and a charcoal burners drawl. The cadence for each can be unique. But! That is a big ask when the story presented is already this good!

I am well pleased that I bought and read these books. I am following this author. I will recommend these books to many people since there is little to offend anyone and Oh! So much to please.

It isn’t often that I am astounded by an author who can captivate my attention so thoroughly that I cannot put the books down until I have finished the whole series. Ajisha Klapkeke has accomplished this feat for me and I thank her for it.

This is a very enjoyable series to read. Nice fantasy fiction with characters that engage the reader. Engaged enough so you’d like to say “Stop!” or cheer them on. There is a problem with the plot toward the end of the last book. It’s as though the obvious and discussed solution slips away with common sense. I understand the need to further the plot but this was just an error in the storyline that strains credulity even in a fantasy plot. Overall, however, the author does a great job.

Linear Romance In Otherwise Good Series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

The concept for this series is quite interesting, three mostly standalone stories with very few cross book interactions before all joining together in the fourth. Each story is interesting enough with twists and turns but the romantic subplots are all very similar, one dimensional and one directional.
