About this listen
With these three virtues, we shall rise. With these three, we shall conquer.
Truth. Honor. Blood.
To my people, the sky-reigning Empyreans, Intention Day is sacred.... To me, it’s the day my carefully crafted lie crumbles and my truth gives way to my ruin. The intense power surging through my veins is revealed, immediately coveted by those eager to exploit me for what they deem a greater good. If they have their way, the future I long for will be ripped away. But I am a warrior born to fly. To fight. Not to be caged and controlled.
The great scale of the goddess Neera has tipped out of my favor. The pans teeter between weighty punishment and deadly opportunity. My choices? Capture my most formidable enemy before next Intention Day, or forfeit my wings.
But life’s loftiest plans are often a breath away from disaster, and tragedy strikes as unpredictably as a bolt of lightning. When I find myself at the mercy of my greatest enemy, the terror known as the Shark of the Sea, the monster who killed the person I loved most, I accept my fate. My death. But the Shark does not lash out in revenge for all I’ve done. He tells me his true name is Crest. And while he calls me a Scourge, he honors his orders to guard me.
Forced together, Crest reveals that the truth only exists in the place between our perspectives and shares his hope to garner peace before the land is further soaked with the blood of sky and sea. The longer I am among his kind, the more I wonder if he might be right. Could an alliance be the salvation of both our peoples?
I am Elira, great Scourge of the Sky.
He is Crest, cunning Shark of the Sea.
Together...we could be unstoppable.
Where Oceans Burn is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, Holly Black's The Cruel Prince, Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass, Elisa Kova's Married to Magic series, and Romeo and Juliet retellings....
Praise for Where Oceans Burn
“Bond has created a world so rich, you can taste the brine of the sea on your tongue and feel the crash of lightning in your bones. These characters will claim your heart with their story, break it with their sorrow, mend it with their affection, and bolster it with their hope. I never wanted it to end.” (Vanessa Rasanen, author of On These Black Sands and From These Dark Depths)
“Loss, betrayal, and the mark of true love burn bright in this one-of-a-kind adventure where the sky meets the sea! This has easily become one of my all-time favorite Bond stories, and I can’t wait for book two!" (Tish Thawer, author of Weaver)
“Get swept away in a lush new fantasy where one winged girl, armed with heart and courage, dares the very impossible.” (Olivia Wildenstein, author of Feather and House of Beating Wings)
“Where Oceans Burn by Casey L. Bond is an absolute must read for any fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Sarah J. Maas. Casey L. Bond has written a gorgeous YA Fantasy with incredible worldbuilding, and a storyline about a woman whose destiny lies in ending the war between those in the sky and those in the sea.” (Jes Ekker from LitBuzz)
“Fall into a world of wonder, loss, war, betrayal, and the possibility of love. Where Oceans Burn is an entrancing tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Wind or water–which would you choose?” (@TheTerritorialFaePodcast)

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Story
The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish...bled. Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: His death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead.

Chaos, the vicious supernatural competition where heroes are born and riches are won. To most, it's just an urban legend whispered in the darkest shadows, but that all changes when my best friend drags me into a savage world where vampires, shifters, and fae compete for glory and fame. As a creature without magic, I’d be a fool to enter Chaos, but the prize—a dagger of untold power—could change my powerless existence. With that dagger, I could wield magic, earn respect, and maybe, just maybe, win the heart of the dragon heir… it’s a risk I have to take.

Looking for a new fantasy romance series that combines the "snarky mortal woman navigates a world hostile to her species" vibes of The Serpent and the Wings of Night with the "questioning my chastity vow in the face of this hot new mysterious male in my life" energy of From Blood and Ash plus the "we're conducting an investigation together but are struggling to keep our hands off each other" tension of Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood? The Memory Puller just might be your next obsession.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well...by all but one.

If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn’t, the punishment is death—for both mistress and servant.

What a gem
Listened to this on Audible and it was wonderful. The narrator did a great job and the story was different than what I had expected. Can the two cultures come together and learn to accept one another? will trust and peace be obtained? The MC's are fleshed out and grow into maturity. I was never bored with the story. There is a book two that is out but it's not on Audible yet. I hope that it will be. There are only two books to the story so will have to read book two but would much rather it be on Audible because of poor eyesight. I would recommend this duo. It was a clean read which is so hard to find anymore.

Checked every box, and I'm picky!
I have definitely been disappointed recently with the fantasy genre, my favorite addiction. I can tell because so many times I was rolling my eyes thinking the FMC is about to abandon her morals, start up an annoying, whiny inner dialogue any time now and ruin this absolute gem of a book, just the opposite happened!
I 100% thought I knew how this book was going to end and even though there was a flicker of disappointment at another cliché drama-grab cliffhanger, that's still 5-star goals with how many DNF's I've read recently. I was shocked to discover that the ending was an unexpected surprise with just enough of a teaser of what's to come that I'm hooked! No clichés! No abandoniI might also have to raise the bar a little higher, but I'll hold off a little longer.

Amazing.
This book was amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was very pleased. I cried while driving down the road listening to some of the chapters. I laughed at other things. The surprise that came from other chapters had me not wanting to stop listening. Dang work getting in the way. Seriously though. Amazing book!

Heart-Pounding, Action-Packed, Endearing
Loved the narration for this book! All the inflections and emotions into each character.
As for the book itself, it’s one that I’d previously read and loved so much that I wanted to listen to the audio. I was still struck with all the same emotions this time around.

Struggling to not DNF
I might be the outlier here, but I’m failing to see what others have praised. I do 100% agree the performance is good, but the story is very much a drag, the universe is not captivating, and the nature of the characters’ being is so confusing. Are they birds? Are they human? Are they both? They lay eggs? They have hands, right? Oh wait, yes they seemingly have hair? Are they like angels? He’s “the Shark” so do animals exist? The writing is too vague and it almost feels like it’s trying too hard to create a fantasy people to a point where you can’t conceptualize it and immerse yourself into the story. The first 14 chapters says a lot of nothing with a lot of repetition. The political element is a very cliche “church vs. government” feel with the governing body wanting more power. I’ve listened half way through and have needed to go back and re-listen twice, yet still none of the characters are memorable or even truly likable. Who knows, maybe I’ll run out of other options and try again, but for now it’s a strong DNF.
