Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme where you chose a random book from your Goodreads TBR and show it off. This meme is hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog.
This week, I’m spotlighting In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens. I had the pleasure of meeting Lukens a few months ago when Spell Bound first released. I adored Spell Bound and ended up buying their other two books that night. My daughter and I plan to buddy read this one this summer.
About the Book:

Title: In Deeper Waters
Author: F.T. Lukens
Page Length: 320
Publication Date: April 20, 2021
Synopsis: A young prince must rely on a mysterious stranger to save him when he is kidnapped during his coming-of-age tour in this swoony adventure that is The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue meets Pirates of the Caribbean.
Prince Tal has long awaited his coming-of-age tour. After spending most of his life cloistered behind palace walls as he learns to keep his forbidden magic secret, he can finally see his family’s kingdom for the first time. His first taste of adventure comes just two days into the journey, when their crew discovers a mysterious prisoner on a burning derelict vessel.
Tasked with watching over the prisoner, Tal is surprised to feel an intense connection with the roguish Athlen. So when Athlen leaps overboard and disappears, Tal feels responsible and heartbroken, knowing Athlen could not have survived in the open ocean.
That is, until Tal runs into Athlen days later on dry land, very much alive, and as charming—and secretive—as ever. But before they can pursue anything further, Tal is kidnapped by pirates and held ransom in a plot to reveal his rumored powers and instigate a war. Tal must escape if he hopes to save his family and the kingdom. And Athlen might just be his only hope…
Have you reads In Deeper Waters? What’s on your TBR? Comment below!
I haven’t read it but I love the colors they used for the cover.
Me too – All of Lukens’s covers are so gorgeous!
In Deeper Waters is a fun read. I have their next book on my shelf, So This is Ever After, and the cover is just as beautiful. Still need to read it though, haha.
lol – I read Spell Bound and loved it. I have the other two on my bookshelves – still unread. haha
