Isla Halloran has dreamed of visiting her father's birthplace, Merrow Island, since she was a child. Her grandfather would fill her head with stories of its beauty and legends: emerald pastures, blue seas, and cliffs that stretched into the sky. She vowed she'd visit one day. She just didn't know that one day would be her junior year of high school, or that the visit would be permanent. 
Angry with the turn of events, she struggles to find any of the magic her grandfather had described.

 That is until she meets Kieran Murphy and his friends. Dreamy, dark, and just a bit dangerous, Kieran reveals the hidden wonders of the Island. Wonders that include magic, myths, and a curse. A curse, that for over three centuries, has bound every islander. 

And now she knows...coming to Merrow Island was never going to be her choice. Her fate was sealed at the moment of her birth. Because she's the key to breaking the curse, and they'll do whatever it takes to keep her there so they can finally be free.All Rights Reserved

Siren's Heart by The_Wildcards

*Frequent updates* {This book is complete and we will be updating it every few days.} All her life Truly Davelvon has been kept a secret from the rest of Atlantis, a nation founded by pirates five hundred years ago. She's a Davelvon, descended from one of the Great Fleet's four leaders, but the women of her family are considered cursed and she's no exception. After Orison Davelvon betrayed the rest of his fleet and made a deal with the Siren queen to marry her daughter, a girl has been born to his line every hundred years. Four girls have been born before her. Four have died young, each blamed for the death of another in two of the four original family's deaths. Truly is the fifth, the crowning pearl, will she escape her fate or finally claim the last untouched line? Born with a ship's deck beneath his feet and a cutlass in hand, High Captain Kade Petrovick can steal a girl's heart just as easily as he could seize a ship. Too bad for Atlantis he's more into disproving their myths and curses than he is being 'The Brovern incarnate'. Descended from Drake Broven, the brazen pirate who not only stole the Kraken's Heart from Davy Jones but the man's wife as well. Like the rest of the Brovern line, Kade is cursed with wanderlust and the desire for riches. A thirst for adventure courses through his veins and tends to leave him often not onshore or in a lasses bed for long. Girls might love him, but none will ever claim his heart, save the sea, thanks to the curse Davy Jones placed upon his ancestor. It'll take a girl more alluring than his mistress the sea to keep this Brovern in port and perhaps finally break his family's curse.

Sea Glass by gwengreenwich

Over the next few weeks I will be going through it to fix typos and grammatical errors but otherwise this story is complete! Enjoy! Sirena Brinn is just your average 18 year old... Well, aside from the fact that she can breath underwater. After moving back to her childhood home of Glasspoint, Florida Sirena's entire reality is changed when she learns that merpeople exist, and that she could even be one herself. Eventually, she finds herself in the company of Calder, a mysterious merman who seems to know a little too much about her, and Darrien a handsome merprince who puts the fate of his kingdom in her hands. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ It took all of me not scream at the sight before me. Calder was standing in my bedroom, stark naked. "Oh my god!" I cried, shielding my eyes. I leapt from under my covers and ran into the bathroom. I snatched a towel off the rack and flung it at Calder. So clearly last night wasn't a dream. "What the hell?" I hissed as he wrapped the towel around his waist. "How did you get in here?" "I climbed up from the balcony." He replied casually. "You're insane." "Well if you hadn't run off last night and just let me explain, I wouldn't be standing here right now." He said coldly. "Oh it's my fault? Okay. Well can you really blame me?" I exclaimed angrily. I was pissed that he was pissed at me. "Up until last night, I didn't even think mermaids existed, and then you tell me that I am one!" "Well excuse me for trying to give you some background information about yourself." He scoffed.

The Mermaid-Cursed Pirate by SirenaWaters

Sirena may look like a normal girl, but she is far from it. Not only is she a mermaid, but she is also a lot older than she looks. She has lived on Neverland for longer than she cares to remember. She lives in solidarity, trying to avoid the annoying teenaged boys on the island and people in general. Trying to avoid her fate that looms closer each day. She had it pretty good - until a ship appeared on Neverland's shores and gave her hope to escape the inevitable. Freedom was so close! But then an unexpected pirate ruined everything. Or so she thought. AN: I do not own any characters from Once Upon a Time and some elements for the mermaids were taken from H2O: Just Add Water. Sirena, the plot, and most elements of the mermaid world and the mermaid curses are my own. Please do not steal, but enjoy!
