After a horrible accident, Mara was given another chance at life; a life lurking in the depths of the ocean. She's caught in between good and evil. Her soul is still intact, but it's infused with darkness. Mara resides in the harsh waters of the Atlantic, near the coast of Maine, and busies herself with sinking the yachts of the rich and manipulative. After every sink, though, she's shrouded with guilt; guilt that is slowly diminishing everyday. When Zander Mitchell, in all his arrogant, cocky, miserable glory, sails Mara's waters, she'd oddly fascinated by the human. Little does she know that he could be the key to her demise or the key to unlock the good in her that was pushed deep down for far too long. Mara is dark and dangerous, but Zander is drawn to her beautiful, indescribable fury.

My entry for the Under The Sea writing contest. The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe is incorporated in this work, I do not claim to own the poem. Other than that, the work is my own.

~ Finalist of The Under the Sea Writing Contest with @Jos1eDemuth and @BrittanieCharmintine ~ Clarissa was like any other high school girl until her mother died one night saving her life in dangerous waters. She became more of a recluse as time went on and her paranoid father banned her from entering the ocean. One night she finally gives in to her best friend, Stacy, and follows her out on a party boat where things may just get interesting for Clarissa when a storm throws her overboard and she pops a tail. She has been given a chance to basically start over with a new life as she discovers all the ocean has to offer. In the end she is given a choice and she must decide will she choose the ocean or the shore. -------------- This is a book I'm starting to write for Wattpad's month of mermaids and I hope you all enjoy.
