I won't survive. 

I'm sure of it.

Strong wind ruffles through my clothes and hardly allows my eyes to remain open. I'm surprised that I'm still standing on the rock and haven't been tossed into the whirlwind. Huge waves crash down upon the rocks making deafening sounds. I open my eyes wide enough to see the next wave coming. As it comes towards the rock, it reaches the height of a three-storey building and seems to loom over me for some time, like a monster looking at its prey with hungry eyes, before finally crashing down towards me like a waterfall.

While it comes down one single thought comes in my mind.

This is how I die.

Then the waters devour me. 

___________________________________________

What's the worst crime you could ever commit?

In a faraway kingdom of Marinus, ruled by a blood thirsty, diabolical king, Kai, the rules are simple. 

To love, is a sin. 

Cordelia Lynn, an ordinary 16 year old, finds herself in the midst of this. 

Call it coincidence. Or just fate.

Now she must choose which side she's on and unveil a truth about her existence.

Wishing all the while,

Not to commit the same sin again.....

Sea Of Dreams  by EvangelineNott

Historical romance about a human girl and a merman. BOOK SAMPLE, FULLY AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED FOR FREE! [Preview] A long arm snaked around her waist, pulling her through the current. Adrenaline hit her like a crushing force, and she saw whisps of white silk clouding around her vision. She began to struggle vehemently, still holding onto her sketchpad as tightly as possible. She raised the book above her head and beat it against the iron body, dragging her deeper. She felt her sketchpad suddenly get snatched out of her hand. The flash of white crossed in front of her and two eyes, dark as death, watched her so closely that she could see nothing else. Her chest throbbed with the desperate need to breathe, and she began to struggle again, thrashing her limbs as much as she possibly could to unleash herself from the creature's locked hold. Powerless, exhausted, and drowning, Victoria's eyes fought to remain open as she ceased fighting her fate and grew still. The pain in her chest seemed to pulsate throughout her entire body, and she felt the darkness coming on, but she ignored it as she remained listelessly suspended in the deep abyss. The black eyes remained fixated on her face as if she were the only thing that existed. Her eyes fluttered closed, but not before she saw the obsidion depths of the creature's eyes swirl and turn to a dark shade of sapphire blue.

It's a tough job, but if Malia does it right, she can win back her life on land. However, vengeful souls lurk in the waters, determined to destroy the mortals above them.

Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. There's one rule shared between the island's tribes: don't touch the water. When Cressa-la breaks this law, her world, and body, changes. Sure, change is normal... but when has growing scales ever been normal? • • • Watty Award Winner 2015: Best Use of Visuals • • • Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. Among the spared, magic chooses a rare few, connecting them to the moon or sea. These are the One-Hundreds, mermaids and humans with the power to save the world-or corrupt it. When Cressa-la breaks the first rule of her tribe and touches the water surrounding her island, everything she knows turns on its head. Talking, sinister dolphins, mind control, and a whole world just under the waves await her on her eigteenth birthday... but she never asked for any of this. All she wanted was to become a Tribe Leader and take care of her village. It's amazing how one screw-up can change everything. A relentless darkness reaches for her, wanting her affections for his own twisted purposes. In opposition stands a fractured light, haunted by a painful past where corruption eroded friendship. Unless Cressa-la can bring the darkness to his knees and fight the war raging inside, the world is doomed. • • • Content warning: This story contains themes of depression and violence.

After the sinking of the Titanic, Mary (Sophia) de la Reue swore that she'd never love again. However, when she receives a second chance at life as an Aquarid, a type of Mer created when one sacrifices themselves to the waves, she's not so sure that's possible. Everywhere she goes, she sees him. Thomas. And every time, it turns out the same way. He's a Syfire, the sworn enemy to the Aquarids. But still, someone desires for them to be together-permanently-and won't stop until they succeed. One night while living in the Elemental Realm, Sophia encounters Andromeda, a witch who entices Sophia in an alluring dance of seduction and promises. Promises to let Sophia be with her one true love once and for all, but only if she joins the Syfires. Now living under various aliases throughout the five realms, Sophia must navigate life on the run with her Mer coven, hoping she can find a way to finally be with Thomas. In a race against time itself, Sophia faces hard choices and tests to her loyalty in more ways than she could ever imagine. --- Contains mild sensual/sexual content Inspired and expanded from my Fantasmical 2023 Entry Copyright © 2023 Han_writer21 All rights reserved.
