Beneath the Waves, Secrets Await: dive into a hidden realm where the line between fairy-tales and nightmares blur, in this mysterious world of romance, magic, and mermaids.

My move to Ireland was supposed to be a fresh start, after the tragic death of my parents. Instead, I found myself tangled in a chilling series of murders. As I pry open the cryptic chapters of my mother's hidden past, I'm caught in a treacherous current of intrigue, magic, and desire, pulled by two mysterious men: Sebastian, whose mystique and power are as deep as the ocean, and Ethan, whose allure is darkened by whispers of witchcraft and occult. Neither are quite what they seem.

With each tide, ancient powers stir within me-powers that could either save or condemn the merrow, an ancient race of mermaids lurking beneath the ocean's surface. As a pawn in a savage war that blurs the line between mortals and myths, I am both hunter and prey.All Rights Reserved

The rose keepers by Skyla6274

In a world once divided by ancient magic, each species lived in secluded realms. Mermaids ruled the deep oceans, elves thrived in enchanted forests, orcs built their strength in rugged caves, and dragons soared over the sky's peaks, divided between ice and fire. Goblins living in the swamps of the marshlands. Shapeshifters wandered in shadows, and the sky people dwelled in sky realms, distant from earthly matters. For centuries, these territories remained separate, each guarding its own secrets. But this balance shattered when war erupted, spreading darkness and destruction across the land. Homes were destroyed, families lost, and the world itself bore deep scars. Only after devastation did the realms realize that their isolation had been their downfall. From the ashes, a fragile peace emerged, with old enemies becoming allies. In the aftermath, a new generation arose-9 teenagers born amidst hope for unity. Tasked with an unprecedented mission, they must traverse an ancient labyrinth that holds the keys to their world's history and potential salvation. Brought together by fate, young members of various races-mermaids, orcs, dragons, elves, and others-struggle to bridge the gaps between their differing ways of life. This is a tale of ancient magic, clashing realms, and tentative alliances, where the fate of the world rests in the hands of those who carry both the legacy of war and the hope of a new beginning.

Mystical (Mystical #1) (Revising) by ArielleWeekly

Gentle ripples passed over her, a watery caress that contrasted with her growing unease. Blinking slowly, Eliza tried to make sense of her situation. She found herself submerged, an unexpected aquatic world unfolding around her. Panic crept in as her ankles remained bound, immobilized as if by an unseen force. An attempt to move her arms yielded no results - they were ensnared in an unyielding grip. Seaweed, sinuous and trailing, wrapped itself around her legs with an almost possessive hold. Every movement was thwarted by the constricting tendrils, her struggles mirrored by the rippling sea plants. An urgency to breathe set in, her chest tightening in a desperate plea for air. But the very element that should sustain her had become a stifling barrier. A strand of slimy seaweed clung to her lips, smothering her mouth and nose. It seemed as if the water itself had turned against her, a sinister transformation that threatened to consume her.

A New Tide Rising by jms777

[COMPLETED] After completing her task of going to ground to bring her sister back home, a mermaid - Amaya - is drawn back to the small island of Linda Cove to find a young woman with whom she had a brief encounter during her time there. She yearns to find out if the feelings she experienced for this human were real, or just a passing infatuation borne out of intrigue for an unfamiliar creature. ***** This is a companion story to What the Tide Brings, in which Amaya's sister - Kaelin - is rescued by a human boy and harbored by his unknowing family, but Kaelin has a secret that could bring danger to her newfound friend. I suggest reading What the Tide Brings first for continuity's sake, but this story can be read on its own. It's pretty much self contained, except for a few references to characters and events from What the Tide Brings. *****
