Alex was a boy who always pined for his fathers approval. Now, he shuffles through life, no real goal nor dreams ahead. He doesnt want a wife, children, a rich job, a farm, nor to be a war hero. Simply being is good enough for him. What will happen after a particularly nasty breakdown he did not expect, where he meets a Siren?
In most folk stories, to see a Siren is a death omen hanging over your head. They lure you in, singing of dreams and fantasies, killing you when you least expect it. Fun, huh? But, the Siren is bored - so when she meets a boy who she finds out doesnt have any dreams whatsoever, shes intruiged. And so, what does she do? befriend him of course!
Lifes about to get intresting for both of them. And Mary. Poor, poor Mary.
So come on this adventure, will they fall in love? will you skip over this book? will the Siren ever find out what happened to Alex's 8th birthday?
Spoiler Alert - no to all three questions!
A story similar to a classic fairy tale, but with a major twist ... What if the little mermaid were a deep sea merman instead? And what if the human he fell in love with went to live with him in the sea instead?
Though born as a regular human on land, Henrietta always felt as if she were suffocating. She struggled to survive and belong among her kind.
On a night when she sought to end her life at sea, she was rescued by Elsen, a merman who had once felt the same as her. Despite coming from different worlds, their shared experiences instantly built a bridge between them.
When misfortune struck again, Henrietta lost her home and was driven to the edge once more. Seeing that she had nowhere else to go, Elsen brought her to his home in the deep sea. Although the ocean depths were tranquil and soothing, Henrietta's heart was still plagued with worries. And she soon discovered that Elsen also had yet to defeat his own demons.
Will these two broken souls finally heal and come to love not only each other but themselves as well?
