Daughter of Saltwake Now Available
Mira Kest was raised on Saltwake, an island punished into gratitude by a Crown that turns cruelty into law.
When rebels send her into the capital as part of Saltwake’s official delegation, Mira expects to uncover records, secrets, and proof of what the Crown has done to her people. She does not expect to find her own name buried in the archive.
Inside the palace, every polished floor hides a threat, every soft voice carries a warning, and every sealed document brings Mira closer to a truth that could change who she is and what she owes the home that made her.
A romantic fantasy of rebellion, hidden lineage, and court intrigue
Kay Everly writes romantic fantasy about hidden histories, impossible choices, and the kind of love that survives what power tries to erase.
She has always been drawn to stories with haunted places, sharp secrets, complicated loyalties, and characters who discover they are braver than their fear. Daughter of Saltwake is her debut novel.
When she is not writing, Kay can usually be found reading, overthinking fictional politics, collecting beautiful notebooks, or imagining what might be hidden behind locked archive doors.
