The Heritage and the Sea

Returning to the Norwegian island of Leka, Aria Montgomery prepares to face both her family’s past and the sea that has shaped it. New sonar data suggests that something still lies buried beneath the seabed—something tied to the shipwreck of L’Enfant de la Patrie . But Aria is no longer alone. Rivals, corrupt officials, and shadowy collectors have begun to close in. What started as historical research becomes a dangerous race against time. As the truth rises toward the surface, Aria must decide what legacy truly means—and what she is willing to sacrifice to protect it. The Heritage and the Sea is the second book in the Secrets of the Sea trilogy, deepening the mystery and raising the stakes.
