NIGHTSINGER
a novella
*
Jameson knows many things. Some say he is older than the land itself. Some believe that he existed with the darkness of the water and the trembling of the tides from the very beginning.
He knows many things. He knows what they call him.
Nightsinger.
When Iris Monroe finds her way into his waters, he wonders whether death will taste just as sweet underwater as it does on his shores.

author's note
hello, and welcome back! i know i've been gone for some time, but here's a novella that i'll hopefully be updating regularly. this is pretty out of my comfort zone, but i literally couldn't get this idea out of my head. i also love the ocean and fairy tales. this will be darker than normal and perhaps edgier and more fantasy, so please have patience! you are magic, and i appreciate every single one of you.
this story is a work of fiction and contains mature content, such as references, sexuality, and language. all rights reserved 2023.

RomanceThe ocean is the giver of life, the squanderer of dreams. It is the birthplace of wind and the treasure-holder of wealth. It is dangerous and strange and blue. It is monstrous. And Jameson is adored by her.
