Tolliver is a quiet boy who loves the ocean but doesn't know how to swim. The seaside town he calls home lives in fear of mermaids, the beastly creatures of the deep that sink fishing boats and merchant's ships with glee- and he knows the stories of how sinister these monsters can be. 

But when an injured mer washes up on the pebbly shore along the path he takes to school, Tolliver must decide if he's going to hold onto the fears handed down by his ancestors or open his eyes to a new way of life.All Rights Reserved

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?
