Washed Under the Waves was a very different book to read. I would classify it as fantasy/allegory with a touch of steampunk. Several times I almost stopped reading it, but I had to see what happened to everyone. I would have liked a little more character development. The plot, while slow to develop, does eventually get interesting. If you are looking for something different to read, give Washed Under the Waves a chance.
From Amazon:
A hidden island. A prince in disguise…and a lady torn between love and duty.
Lady Tayte Bashan never desired the distinctive black hair that marks her as Undae royalty, but when her family perishes in a devastating tsunami, the burden of leadership falls upon her young shoulders. Even as she prepares her island for the prophesied prince, she fears the duty to marry him is truly meant for another.
Sent from the King to an island untouched by the outside world for centuries, Prince Geoffrey Athan D’Ambrose's mission is to lead its people to the ultimate truth. The first sent out, he desires to serve his King, but how is he supposed to win the heart of Undae’s princess when the King sends him disguised as a tutor?
Betrayal stirs within Castle Bashan, a threat as deadly as the rising wave. Now Tayte and Athan must brave the maelstrom or watch as the entire island succumbs to treachery’s destructive tide.
About the Children of the King Series:
The Children of the King series is comprised of stand-alone, individual romances. Any of the books can be read out of order, but there is a growing series arc woven into each story. The books are set in the distant (or not so distant) future when the King sends out His children to reclaim His lost lands. However, because of the simplistic cultures of many of the island inhabitants, the majority of the stories will seem set in the past—except for modern phrases, changed-up idioms, occasional futuristic words, references to our present as their past, and other speculative story elements that remind the reader this isn’t Kansas anymore.
I was given this book by the publisher for review purposes. All thoughts are my own.
About the author:
Gloria Clover writes Christian fiction, contemporary and speculative romance. She enjoys puzzles, word games, drama, deep conversations, and basically anything that doesn't take coordination. Her favorite place is her nose in a good book.
