~My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold.~
In folklore mermaids are shown as delicate beautiful creatures, but to the men who live on the sea, mermaids are truly fearsome beasts. Pirates and sailors alike feared the mermaid, for few men ever lived to tell the tale of meeting one.
Marina is a young mermaid, knowing little more than how to successfully seduce and devour her victims. Capturing the hearts of men was an art, they seldom needed lure with more than the promise of a kiss.
A captain sets out on a journey to slay a rare black tailed mermaid in a twisted plot of revenge, using Marina as a tool.
Yet the question remains: will Marina live through the events? And why can't she shake this eerie feeling that she has around the Captain, accompanied by an unsettling longing towards Jasper, a recent addition to the Captain's crew...

Not like they intended to do that, it's the only way to have your life back. Anyways, isn't it ironic for a siren to switch lives with a human is through a kiss? A person with a broken heart should be cared for and is not something to play around with. Rules change in the ocean, heartbroken people are what sirens strive for. Most of the time it doesn't matter because at one point, they were heart broken. The gods above must've took a pity on us. Our painful feelings leave us, creating a clueless monster with no pain. The poor siren has no memory of their past life except for a certain hobby. It's not the worst thing; sirens get another try when they find another heartbroken fellow. Your opinion of us doesn't matter in the end. We all want one thing: a happy ending" [Note: All characters belong to me except for Conor and Libby, who were made by someone else.] [The cover is not mine and was made by an amazing person named TheQueensofSlytherin]Complete
