In the depths of the Caspian Sea, a mystical town called Seabum is home to a young black mermaid named Shell Swarthy. Her ancestors were enslaved Africans who miraculously survived the transatlantic slave trade by being thrown overboard, only to find refuge beneath the ocean's dark blue waters.

As a devout follower of Poseidon, the King of the Seas, Shell's community prepares for the royal coral wedding, a grand celebration that will take place in two sea surfs. Shell, a tenth-generation Mermaid, serves as an under Chef in the castle of Prince Persia Melas, a member of the royal family. Her life is one of duty and service, bound to the Melas household.

The night of Prince Persia's engagement party is a momentous occasion, attracting dignitaries and aristocrats from the seven salty seas. Legend has it that Poseidon touched Persia with his trident at birth, bestowing a mysterious blessing. The prophecy foretells that once Persia takes a queen, Poseidon will reveal the gift and guide his life's path.

However, on the eve of the engagement party, Persia is kidnapped by ruthless underwater mercenaries, leaving everyone baffled. Shell is coerced into accompanying the kidnappers, as they believe she possesses the unique ability to navigate treacherous waters hidden from ordinary Merfolk.

With Persia's life hanging in the balance, Shell must keep him safe while concealing her own secrets and desires. Can this ordinary Melanin Mermaid help Persia find his way back home, all while staying true to herself?

Join us on an underwater adventure, as we unravel the mysteries of this aquatic fantasy tale, filled with twists, thrills, and romance.

Presenting Melanin Mermaid's, a black afrofantasy underwater adventure, brought to you by Blk Qween. 

Hold your breath as we deep dive into this clear blue saltwater tale of secrets, love, and mystery!

Yet, the ripples of the changing world beyond seep in with increasing force, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. That day, all Dea could think about was swimming her sea cow to the seagrass meadows. Who said life's easy for a high school teen? Even more so when one is a pastel goth gamer mermaid trying to scrape by in a modest mobile home with a grumpy grandmother, who's always complaining about the "human infestation". Maybe the troubled city-state will embrace a new dawn when merpeople and humans co-exist--a future that Dea is determined to work hard for. Noble causes aside, just getting to see a notorious human is number one on her bucket list. Now, as if school, a part-time job and a looming political career aren't enough, a chonky sea cow has been following her for days.

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18
44 parts Complete
It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

Sea Of Dreams  by EvangelineNott
72 parts Complete Mature
Historical romance about a human girl and a merman. [Preview] A long arm snaked around her waist, pulling her through the current. Adrenaline hit her like a crushing force, and she saw whisps of white silk clouding around her vision. She began to struggle vehemently, still holding onto her sketchpad as tightly as possible. She raised the book above her head and beat it against the iron body, dragging her deeper. She felt her sketchpad suddenly get snatched out of her hand. The flash of white crossed in front of her and two eyes, dark as death, watched her so closely that she could see nothing else. Her chest throbbed with the desperate need to breathe, and she began to struggle again, thrashing her limbs as much as she possibly could to unleash herself from the creature's locked hold. Powerless, exhausted, and drowning, Victoria's eyes fought to remain open as she ceased fighting her fate and grew still. The pain in her chest seemed to pulsate throughout her entire body, and she felt the darkness coming on, but she ignored it as she remained listelessly suspended in the deep abyss. The black eyes remained fixated on her face as if she were the only thing that existed. Her eyes fluttered closed, but not before she saw the obsidion depths of the creature's eyes swirl and turn to a dark shade of sapphire blue. I'm so happy to announce that the Sea of Dreams has been, #1 in Mermaid #1 in Historical Romance #1 in Nobility #1 in Merpeople #1 in Merman #1 in Sea #1 in fantasy romance 🌊Thank you to all my readers for helping me reach these views!!! 😄😄😄🌊 3k views 3/26/2022 4k views 04/01/2022 9k views 04/14/2022 10k views 04/16/2022 13k views 04/20/2022 200k views on 6/26/2022 300k views on 9/15/2022 500k views on 1/4/2023 [DISCLAIMER] none of the pictures or artwork used is my own.

🔥Releasing on Amazon February or March 2025 🖤 "You will remember me," I utter, wrapping my hand tighter around the candle. "You will remember the woman who burned your world to ash. For I am a reckoning. I am vengeance. I am your demise. And no one, no man nor army shall stand in my way. Unless they also wish to burn." 🔥 🌺Corintha is an iron hearted young Mer living on Isla de las Madres, home to one of the great Mer pods of the Southern Seas. At seventeen summers, Corintha is now full grown in the eyes of her elders. Old enough to find a mate during the yearly mating season, when the young males return from exploring the world of man, far different than the calm tranquility of their island home. A land that haunts Corintha with the memories of loss, pain, and the fear that her future will be made for her. But her destiny will not be one where tradition will bind her and keep her bound to the island. Fate will pull her into the arms of Ares, the son of the pod's chief and a male that will have Corintha questioning her innermost desires. However, he will not win her heart without a fight and surviving the endless dangers that lie ahead for him, Corintha, and their motley crew of chaotic companions. The hands of fate will lead the young Mer on a journey they never thought possible. Faced with rival Mer from the North, pirates that hold deadly knowledge, and navigating the world of man without revealing their inhuman nature. These trials will test them, break them, and bring about a new story, a new legend for the travelers of land and sea. A villain with a thirst for blood. A creature of nightmarish myth. A monster to be feared. A title that Corintha will learn to bare with pride. 🦚 Trigger warning ⚠️- this book contains scenes of gore, violence, abuse, assault, and sexual situations.
