They are born of myth, legend, and lore.

Beautiful women beneath the waves, tempting sailors with playful smiles and beckoning gazed as the break the surface.

It is nearly every young sailors dream to encounter a mermaid, to see the beauties of the sea.

Maybe, just maybe, to catch one too.

That is...until their wish comes true.

They find themselves face to face with the strange enchanting girl smiling just above the surface with skin like moonlight and lips like rose petals.

Just one touch, is all it takes to seal a sailors fate.

Beneath the waves is not ethereal beauty.

But claws, and fangs, and blades of stone. 

Revealed in the sea is a mermaids true face and a sailors deadly fate.

And Zariel is the deadliest of them all.

Daughter of Poseidon and a deep sea mermaid she is dark, powerful, and beautiful by both mermaid standards and especially that of the humans.

There is nothing she enjoys more than a hunt, collecting different skulls of different types of humans.

Navy men, merchants, fishermen, pirates, and travelers alike. She has them all.

Her collection is as admirable as her ferociousness.

Only one type of mortal is missing.

One skull she has yet to collect.

A royal.

Royal bones for a royal mermaid.

Zariel, princess of the sea, doesn't want just any royal.

No. She wants a prince.

One who matches her in both ferocity and blood thirst.

Zariel was going to get the skull of Rowan Delacroix if it was the last thing she did.

Formerly first inline to the throne.

A prince turned pirate.

A hunter of mermaids.

His ship was one she would take pride in wreaking.

This book is rated R. Please proceed with caution. This is the more raunchy version of the book. *** We stand in silence, as I sip my water, and he watches me do it. Finally, he breaks the silence. "I'm sorry if I... offended you by sleeping in your bed last night. This morning. Whatever." "It's fine. You didn't do anything." He nods, his eyes far away, as if thinking of how to word his views. "I didn't do anything... but I wanted to. I wanted to so badly." I nearly choke on my water. I don't know what's worse; his confession, or how nonchalantly he says it, as if he's reading the weather. "Come again?" I say, thinking that I must have heard him wrong. He shrugs. "I want to f*ck you." Again, he is as nonchalant as ever. I just stare stupidly, my mouth agape. He closes my mouth, grinning at me, wicked intentions in his eyes. Not so nonchalant anymore, I see. "Um, I-I...I don't..." I stop talking, realising what a total idiot I sound like, while his grin broadens. In that second, I am grateful for my dark skin, as he can't see me blushing. "Tongue-tied?" My cheeks get hotter. "Shut the f*ck up." He actually laughs. "Don't worry, honey," he says, his hot breath brushing against my face, shocking me. When did he get this close? "One day," he whispers, now in my ear,"I will f*ck you." I realise that my eyes are closed and I open them. He's gone. I stand there frozen, in total shock. What the actual f*ck just happened? *** When all you know is disappointment, you become your own best friend. You isolate yourself from everyone else. You need no one; love is a weakness. That's the case with me. Then, Prince Charming rides in and changes everything. Except, he isn't a prince. He is light, but he holds darkness; he is joy, but he knows pain; he is beauty, but within him is imperfection and ugliness. He is just like me, but he is nothing like me.

*Completed* "No smart move.. I suppose I can trust you on this.." He said in his deep voice leaving my hand.He didn't need to tell me that.. I was so taken by his presence and voice that I Couldn't move even if I wanted to.. He pushed me down to the ground by holding my shoulders. I felt his body going away from mine, his heat disappearing, scent fading.. I heard footsteps and saw his figure coming in front of me.. His tall masculine figure walked to the chair in front of me. He took off his suit and placed on the chair. He turned to face me, sitting on it dominantly.. Like he owns the damn world.. He started rolling up his sleeves to his elbows, his eyes not leaving me. I froze in my place as he gazed at me intensely. I couldn't bring myself to look into his eyes but I felt his gaze on me.. Observing my every move.. Closely, Very closely..I am sure he could feel my raged heartbeat and my fast breathing.. And even the slight shaking of my fingers beside me. His gaze on me was suffocating and too intense to ignore.. I looked into his eyes and my heart stopped pumping blood for a moment and went wild the next as my brown eyes met those electric blue orbs.. *** She is a bad news.. She is a nightmare.. She is a Street fighter.. Not just any but the best among them.. She is hellfire and holy water.. That depends on how you treat her.. She is not the one you wanna mess with.. She can make your life a living hell.. She is not just any other girl.. She is Argyl.. If this is her, I will just let you wonder about him...! Started on: 2nd August, 2017.

🖤 "You will remember me," I utter, wrapping my hand tighter around the candle. "You will remember the woman who burned your world to ash. For I am a reckoning. I am vengeance. I am your demise. And no one, no man nor army shall stand in my way. Unless they also wish to burn." 🔥 🌺Corintha is an iron hearted young Mer living on Isla de las Madres, home to one of the great Mer pods of the Southern Seas. At seventeen summers, Corintha is now full grown in the eyes of her elders. Old enough to find a mate during the yearly mating season, when the young males return from exploring the world of man, far different than the calm tranquility of their island home. A land that haunts Corintha with the memories of loss, pain, and the fear that her future will be made for her. But her destiny will not be one where tradition will bind her and keep her bound to the island. Fate will pull her into the arms of Ares, the son of the pod's chief and a male that will have Corintha questioning her innermost desires. However, he will not win her heart without a fight and surviving the endless dangers that lie ahead for him, Corintha, and their motley crew of chaotic companions. The hands of fate will lead the young Mer on a journey they never thought possible. Faced with rival Mer from the North, pirates that hold deadly knowledge, and navigating the world of man without revealing their inhuman nature. These trials will test them, break them, and bring about a new story, a new legend for the travelers of land and sea. A villain with a thirst for blood. A creature of nightmarish myth. A monster to be feared. A title that Corintha will learn to bare with pride. 🦚 Trigger warning ⚠️- this book contains scenes of gore, violence, abuse, assault, and sexual situations.
