Ah, sirens and mermaids. The ying and the yang of the bottomless abyss that is the ocean. One, the top apex predator of the seas, the other, a fragile and magnificent creature created by the gods above. As for Octavia, well, she's a little of both- if she must admit. Between her desire to kill the many sailors she is sent after, a soft spot in her darkened heart may still be alive-for a certain sailor.

For Captain Cortez of the Black Maiden, it is more about dealing with the black soul of his dark-humored nephew.

Waveborn by CherylReifsnyder
50 parts Complete
Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.

16 parts Complete

Coral was the last known mermaid. After tragedy struck and she watched the humans devastate her species, she could only despair. She spent years searching for survivors only to find none. Alone and in isolation, she sought out the people who had destroyed her very world. She managed to live and work alongside the humans. She adapted to their culture and lifestyle. The thing she found strange was the acceptance she found there. When she met Byron, her life changed forever. He showed traits of a merman and yet she knew how human he was. She decided that she deserved love as much as anyone did. That simple choice complicated her world and she never saw what was coming her way.
