Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing.

But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore. Maybe she can’t even trust her judgment about quiet Josh Canavan, whose way of speaking in riddles and half-truths only confuses her more, luring her deeper into the secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s surface.

As she tries to unravel the events that led to her mom fleeing the island sixteen years ago, Mara finds that the biggest secret of all is only the beginning.

And the Meek Shall Walk by ShaunAllan

Princess Aren is determined to make the human who killed her mother and exiled her people to the bottom of the ocean pay. To do so, she must go to extremes of pain and heartache in her search for justice. Aren, however, is no sweet, happy mermaid. To kill is to ignite a fire of passion in her heart which only the savage letting of blood can satiate. She will go to any lengths to find the man responsible, including cutting off her own tail and sewing, in its place, a pair of human legs - legs she tore from one of the many humans she had murdered. With the unwilling help of the sea witch, Princess Aren must go ashore and hunt for her mother's killer. But, in doing so, the worlds above and below the ocean will clash in ways neither thought possible! And the Meek Shall Walk - a 'beautiful' and 'savage' retelling of a classic story!

Clouds Over the Sea by QueenMariana

#1 IN MERFOLK 7/4/25 ♡ Elowyn has always been drawn to the sea. The waves call to her in ways she cannot explain, their rhythm echoing in her veins. Raised by her father after her mother's mysterious disappearance, Elowyn's life has been defined by unanswered questions-about the ocean, her mother's love for it, and the strange silence surrounding her father's past. On her seventeenth birthday, everything changes. Her father vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a shimmering blue pendant that seems to pulse with the ocean's power. Thrust into the care of distant relatives on the fog-covered island of Innisfair, Elowyn feels the ocean's pull stronger than ever. A year later one fateful night, following that call, she steps into the waves-and discovers a hidden kingdom beneath the sea. There, Elowyn meets Aetherion Wavecrest, a mysterious and handsome figure. She soon gets swept into the kingdom and learns of its curse trapping the kingdom in eternal conflict. Could Elowyn be the one to break the endless curse? But to do so, she must embrace her magical heritage, confront the powerful curse cast by a jealous Abyssal King, and face the secrets surrounding her mother's disappearance. As Elowyn learns to wield her newfound powers, she finds herself torn between fear and duty. But when the Abyssal King threatens everything she holds dear, Elowyn must decide: will she face her destiny, or let the ocean swallow it whole?

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.
