A mermaid's desire to fit in leads to a destructive transformation.

Born of sea and steel, Mariana Beatrice Hook was never meant to belong to just one world. The daughter of Captain James Hook and a mermaid of the Neverland Lagoon, Mariana grows up caught between tides-raised among mermaids, pirates, and Lost Boys alike. But when a battle between Peter Pan and Captain Hook shatters the lagoon and steals her mother from her life, everything changes. Torn from the sea and taken aboard the Jolly Roger, Mariana's fate becomes entwined with the very war she never chose. Years later, when she leaves Neverland behind to claim a life of her own beyond its cruel rules, Mariana becomes something legend-worthy: a pirate in her own right, feared on the open seas and crowned by love on the mainland. Yet Neverland never truly lets go. When tragedy drives her back to the island of eternal youth, old wounds resurface-and a new one is carved deeper when her daughter vanishes without a trace. In a land where memory fades, childhood never ends, and consequences echo across generations, Pirate Princess is a story of legacy, loss, and a woman determined to defy the rules of Neverland itself.

Two loves changed the course of history-and then stepped aside. Decades later, the world they shaped is beginning to strain. Sela, raised far from the sea yet never free of its pull, has lived her life listening-to currents, to silences, to the spaces her family never spoke about. Eryx, heir to laws forged in survival, understands the sea not as wonder, but as responsibility-something dangerous if left unmanaged. When fractured underwater kingdoms begin to fail, their descendants are drawn toward the truth their grandparents paid for: separation was necessary, love was temporary, and legacy was never meant to be resolved by one generation alone. Reunion is possible. So is refusal. But if the sea is to open again, it will demand more than blood. A Tidelines Story: Confluence is a legacy novel about recognition over romance, repair without erasure, and the cost of choosing belonging when history refuses to be undone. They weren't wrong. They were early. Setting: California (Sela), Florida (Eryx) Era: 1919, 1922, & 1967

The son of a legend. The key to a curse. The sea remembers. Ten years after the infamous Edward Vance vanished beneath the waves with a stolen relic and a ship full of secrets, his son Thomas lives quietly in the shadows of Nassau's docks-building ships, burying bloodlines, and pretending the sea doesn't whisper his name. But when an assassin comes calling and a stranger saves him with a pistol and a smile, Thomas is dragged into a storm of cursed relics, hunted names, and the legacy of a father who might not be as dead as the sea claimed. Now pursued by Blackbeard, shadowed by the Crown, and thrown in with a pistol-tongued best friend, a secretive navigator, and a half-mad pirate captain, Thomas must cross the Devil's Spine to the island where it all began-and face what his father died to contain. Because the Leviathan's Heart is waking. And blood remembers blood.

Legends of the Tidewake Pod Tales and Lore of the Pacific and Atlantic Tidewake Pods I was born Naelira of the Nereids-princess, sister, heir to a pod that trusted fear more than it trusted love. When my sister chose a human man, our people panicked. They saw her choice as betrayal... and soon, they saw me the same way. So they cast me out. Exile should have ended my story. Instead, it began the chronicle humans would one day call Legends of the Tidewake Pod. The Tidewake pod found me drifting between currents and offered what my own people never had-refuge, purpose, belonging. To honor them, and to bury the girl the Nereids rejected, I took a new name: Nyelith. Watcher of the Tidewake. Keeper of the old songs. Guardian of a prophecy older than the Ocean Giant War itself. I fought beside the Tidewake as if I had been born to them. I survived the fall of the Pacific pod. I followed the survivors across the world to a quiet place humans call Calypso Bay, Florida, where the Atlantic pod rebuilt what we had lost. There, I witnessed another story unfold- a brave young man named James, a Tidewake girl named Sephira whose heartbeat carried echoes of my sister, and a love that reminded me of the one I never allowed myself to claim. And Samuel... the human who saw me not as myth, but as a woman. He wrote my memories in his journal, turning my truth into the folklore that would one day be known as Whispers of the Tidewake. For generations, I have watched from the deep. Waiting. Listening. Knowing the prophecy would rise again. Before the Tideborne Saga begins, this is the story of the pod we lost, the exile who chose to stay, and the tide that never forgets. I am Nyelith. I remember. And the tide remembers with me.

Book Two of the Tideborne Saga - A Tideborne Prequel Before the events of Whispers of the Tide, before Chrissy ever questioned the ocean's pull, a love story unfolded that shaped the fate of generations. Sephria, a mermaid who dared to break the ocean's laws. James Whitaker, a lighthouse keeper who heard the sea speak in warnings and promises. Together, they ignited the prophecy that now stirs in the present. Told decades before Chrissy's story begins, this book reveals the secrets the ocean kept hidden-the alliances fractured, the sacrifices made, and the love powerful enough to alter the tide of destiny. As artifacts awaken and ancient forces rise in Book 1, the truth lies here... in the past the sea refused to forget. Some legacies begin with a kiss. Others with a disappearance. And some stories were never meant to stay buried.

Carved into the cliff above a churning sea, the prison of Thal'Mora feeds the condemned to the depths. By day, Kael endures the cruelty of a ruthless warden. By night, siren song coils through the dark, promising something far worse. Kael has lasted longer than most - long enough to know mercy does not exist. When his only ally is sentenced to the Maw, Kael expects death. Instead, he receives a gift... and a prophecy: he is meant to prevent a coming calamity. Centuries ago, the sea god was torn in two. One half is worshipped. The other was sealed away. Now the seals are failing. As storms gather and whispers rise from the deep, Kael must descend into the abyss, defy the faith that rules his world, and embrace the power waiting beneath the waves. Because if the god is made whole again, the sea will not spare the land. And Kael may have to become something more than mortal to stop it.

Beneath the world there are paths that were never meant to be opened. When an ancient threshold is crossed, one life is drawn into a vast and fractured universe- revealing forgotten civilizations, living myths, and powers that remember what the world has tried to bury. The Open Passage is a slow-burn fantasy exploring identity, legacy, and the cost of crossing between worlds. Chapters will be published on a biweekly basis
