Searan, the ruthless hunter and fisher of the waves, thought her mission was a straightforward job. With deadly weapons and ruthless determination, she was never prepared for what fate had in store. When she meets a strange man on the coast with a horrifying agenda, it becomes clear that this huntress is not the hunter, but the prey. With her back against the wall and the waters of doom surrounding her, it seems the only thing left to hunt is her.

A 'short' story based off the scottish folk tale the seal catcher. had to do it for my lit assignment but went WAY over the word count cause i said "My story derserves to be told the way i want" direct quote, me. So here i am, telling it the way it NEEDS to be told, cause I didnt like in the og tale, the main chracter literally has no consequences to his actions, so i wanted to make everything really grey, like you could side with either side and still be morally right.

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?

And the Meek Shall Walk by ShaunAllan

Princess Aren is determined to make the human who killed her mother and exiled her people to the bottom of the ocean pay. To do so, she must go to extremes of pain and heartache in her search for justice. Aren, however, is no sweet, happy mermaid. To kill is to ignite a fire of passion in her heart which only the savage letting of blood can satiate. She will go to any lengths to find the man responsible, including cutting off her own tail and sewing, in its place, a pair of human legs - legs she tore from one of the many humans she had murdered. With the unwilling help of the sea witch, Princess Aren must go ashore and hunt for her mother's killer. But, in doing so, the worlds above and below the ocean will clash in ways neither thought possible! And the Meek Shall Walk - a 'beautiful' and 'savage' retelling of a classic story!

Child of Earth by emiegirl123

Annabra Series Book 1 "I took a tighter grip on my bow and in a split second decided now was the time. I put one foot out to the side of the tree, shifted my core balance to that foot, and let the other one follow it, I was facing towards my prey, whatever it was and I closed my eyes as I shot the arrow straight into its' heart. My prey wasn't prey. It was Death. The arrow fell to the ground and Death laughed, he laughed at my foolish efforts to defeat him. You couldn't kill death, but Death could kill you." - Chapter 17 When Thalia, a girl who has lived in a forested area of Australia for almost a year of her life, discovers the truth about her old life and the dangers of her new one, she is taken to a place where to insure her future she must put it on the line, not only for her new friends but for the rest of the world.

The Blade and The Bird by kqbooks

She'd spent many years playing in this forest as a child. While Selene had enjoyed her novels in the warmth of the house, a blanket wrapped around her narrow shoulders, Sidra always came home covered in mud and scrapes from hours out in the wilderness. She'd take an axe out into the forest and pretend to fight off monsters, the terrifying Mystics that her grandmother had told her stories about. She'd pretend to fight Lycans, knocking out their massive teeth one by one. She'd stand atop rocks and throw her axe at the trees, pretending they were wood nymphs come to steal her away. She'd always return home and tell Selene about the monsters she'd fought that day, spinning together a story of courage and bravery for her little sister. She felt that pain in her heart again as she thought of those times. Through the years, she'd stop going into the woods to play, and she'd instead find stories for Selene. Books of all sizes and shapes, no matter the content, because it made her feel close to her sister just as she had before her parents died. She thought of her family now, how she was all alone. Her parents had been gone for years, her grandmother, and now even Selene was missing somewhere. She needed to find her sister, she couldn't lose the last bit of her family. **

Drowned Sea: A Dark Pirate Fantasy Adventure by mwpressbooks

Game of Thrones meets Pirates of the Caribbean in this thrilling tale of war, revenge, and adventure on the high seas! Lilyth the Red, an elite assassin, made a promise to her family. She failed to keep it. Now, she will stop at nothing to hunt down the pirates who wronged her-even posing as the champion of a goddess, brainwashing an army of cultists, and igniting a war so ruthless that it threatens to awaken the ancient horrors of the Drowned Sea. Erin Rose, a street urchin, only ever cared about picking pockets with her father. But that's no longer an option. Alone, the price of survival is costly, paid in flesh and brutality. The only question is whose blood will be on her hands: her own or her newfound friends. First Mate Jameson, a pirate-turned-storyteller, left a life of violence behind him. Or so he'd thought. But life on the sea is crueler than it has ever been. Trapped between sea monsters, cultists, and pirates, Jameson's stories might be his only salvation-and the ruin of the gods. War ravages the Drowned Sea, monsters rise from its depths, and heroes drown in them. In this world where land is sparse and gunpowder rules the sea, only the villains will survive. Lilyth is coming. No one is safe. All will drown.

The Story of Midnight by Silverwynd

"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?
