dark darkfantasy erotic fairytale fantasy mermaid mermaids ocean pirates prince

**PUBLISHING 6/20/2017** Mermaids are soulless, flesh-eating monsters of the sea, wicked in all ways-but some are born with more humanity.

Nathaniel Thomas believes in monsters. He's seen his share since joining the pirate crew of the Blood-Red Siren. Tales are rampant, especially of mermaids-the deep sea nymphs. With their hypnotic songs, they lure ships to crash and then feast on those aboard, stealing the seed from a man's loins while drinking down his blood. But Nathan has learned not to believe in things he hasn't seen with his own eyes.

All of that seems foolish when he witnesses hideous, scaly-skinned abominations peeling the flesh from his shipmates, but Nathan manages to avoid death. He is rescued by a similar creature, and though he is wary of her, he soon finds that she is nothing like her kin. 
He calls her his Treasure, and she is beautiful beyond anything he's ever seen. There is goodness in her. He knows they do not belong together, but she will not leave him. Likewise, he cannot purge her from his thoughts.

Nathan is introduced to truths he never would have believed, to a love he never thought possible, and to a war that he could not anticipate. There are secrets and horrors in the dark depths, and he is out to uncover them, even if the truth costs him his own humanity.

The Hunter's Pursuit by LeeraIvy

For centuries, the oceans of the world have served as a refuge for the pirates who sailed upon them, but many other dangerous creatures lurk beneath the surface and are now making themselves known. A terrible beast from ancient legends has returned and is now a plague upon the seas. The Pirate Lords are tasked with hunting down the beast, but tensions amongst them are fraught, making things more difficult, especially for Caspian and Primalia Flynn. They know that in order to face both threats surrounding them, they'll need help from someone who knows how to handle the larger of the two. The question is, will he be willing to take up his lance once more? And can he help them destroy the beast, or will another creature of the deep stand in their way?

Siren Song (The Fated #1) by UnboundWings

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana

The Cursed Mermaid by PolygonRunDaWorld

[Fairytale Series, Book 4] The underwater kingdom of Narmia had been left alone for millennia. It was forgotten from history books, and never appeared in maps. Princess Arya, fourth in line to the throne, had grown up with the knowledge that Narmia could support itself, with no outside help needed. Despite her desire to explore beyond, to rise to the surface and see the legendary 'land' for herself, she remained within the walls of her kingdom, deterred from her adventures by her stern, overprotective father. However, Narmia was thrown into chaos when the demons attacked. None of the merfolk had seen such dark creatures. Their army didn't stand a chance. Afraid for the lives of her people, Arya entered the world beyond Narmia, heading towards where she thought was 'land', desperate for help. Her battered, unconscious body was found by Nam, a Dorlae boy, a day later. Although he isn't at all what Arya expected land-dwellers to be, she is relieved when he agrees to help her save Narmia. But as Nam, joined by a few others, gain their very own tails and follow Arya back to her kingdom, she wonders if they will be enough. --------------------------------------------------- Based on The Little Mermaid (ft. The Chronicles of Narnia).
