There's one thing in the world that Arielle hates above all else.

Humans. 

Eighty years ago, the human kingdom of Anjord destroyed the merfolk kingdom of Vandya and banished her people to a distant corner of the sea. Since then, the merfolk have become little more than a myth to the rest of the world. 

But when the formidable Prince Eero crosses the border into her kingdom, Ari has reason to believe he's trying to start another war -- one her father won't engage in. Desperate to protect her people and get her own revenge, Ari makes a deal with her exiled uncle. 

In exchange for legs and the opportunity to kill the crown prince of Anjord, Ari trades the warlock her seat on the throne. Now, she has one month to bury a dagger in the prince's back or lose her home and future. 

In this dark retelling of The Little Mermaid, Arielle's alliances will be tested as she discovers a plot thicker than honey and romance in the most unexpected places.

A Plaything for the Dragons by annablazer
16 parts Ongoing Mature
❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much before the war. Just a name, a half-broken past, and kraken scars that burn every time I breathe. The war didn't break me-it just left marks that never healed. Now, I scrape by in the Banished Realm doing what I must to survive-petty crimes, quiet getaways, keeping my head low and my secrets buried. It's barely enough. Until desperation pushes me into a mission I can't afford to refuse. One risky job. One promised payout. One brutal trap I never saw coming. Framed for a crime I didn't commit, I'm dragged into the dungeons of the Banished Kings. A mated pair-ancient, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful. They claim they want answers. But the way they circle me, the way their eyes linger on my scars and the fire beneath my skin... it's not just the truth they crave. I have a secret they can never uncover. Because if they do, they won't destroy me. They'll devour me-mind, body, and soul. And I don't know if I'll beg them to stop... or to never stop at all.
