The tale of Persephone is well known throughout Greek Mythology, however, the real tale hidden beneath the myth of a Goddess stolen away from her mother is that of Alena Cali - the Cursed Siren. Forever cursed to lure sailors to their deaths with their beautiful voices, Alena is banished to live out her days on Cape Pelorum in servitude to the gods for the unpayable debt she earned in losing Demeter's daughter. Now powerless to the curse that causes her to drag innocent men to their watery graves, Alena sees no escape from her doomed existence. However, when the opportunity to save Persephone arises, she only has one option left: gain the help of a lone sailor to right her wrongs, or lose her friend to the clutches of the Underworld once and for all. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ **Cover made by @ShadowedRain** **Featured by the official Retold Wattpad page, on their "Rethology" reading list" **Winner of the "Ultimate Undiscovered" in the FCRA's 2016 ** **Highest Ranking #250 in Fantasy**

Ever since I was young, I believed in mermaids. In fact, I have seen one before. Not any of that fake stuff you see on the internet, I saw her swimming in the ocean. No one believed me though. But I knew they were real. As I grew older, my family and I went on a trip across the ocean for a year. When we got back, I got my own place on the beach in the Caribbean. Living on my own was so exciting, but about to get much more interesting. I didn't just see a mermaid. I met one. Beneath the Waves. Copyright © 2016. All Rights Reserved.

Lani Perry has been preparing her entire life for one thing: to become an explorer for the Ministry of Interstellar Knowledge. Her dream is to travel to worlds unknown, and to discover new resources that will help to better the lives of those under the Tri-planetary Alliance. She refuses to let prejudice against the fact she's a hybrid of two races hinder her goals. So when her ability to control water makes her a candidate for an upcoming expedition, she's determined to prove that she is the right choice for the job. They've been given special permission to enter the territory of a xenophobic empire to mine for cranteben--a rare mineral required to grow plants on her homeworld--to prevent a potential famine. However, when she finds out the supposedly barren planet they plan to strip mine isn't so lifeless, she has a decision to make: keep quiet and finish her mission, knowing a species will be wiped out of existence, or speak up and face the consequences of insubordination. And possibly even start an interstellar war.
