(Roadstead: A sheltered area outside a harbour where a ship can lie safe at anchor, also known as a roads.)
Siren prince Kellin has never bothered with things "on the surface." Humans are slow, and they can't swim deep enough to be anything of interest, anyway.
However, after a close encounter with a group of human scuba divers exploring the reefs off the coast of San Diego, Kellin starts to get just a little bit curious. It's probably a bad idea, but with a beautiful human named Vic showing him the ropes, Kellin finds himself willing to take desperate measures to trade his tail for land legs-- even if it takes giving away his voice to do it.
(elements of Little Mermaid, but definitely not a simple copycat AU. Stick around and see for yourself.)

No Longer Our Sea (Book 1)
Sirens are foretold to be breathtakingly beautiful, enchanting, and merciless with their victims. A siren's voice is like poison to their prey: it consumes, it tortures, it destroys. To give mercy to the humans is to be weak, but mercy is all their Princess is made of. Aelila Corearien is the opposite of any other siren. She's selfless, affectionate, incapable of a kill: weak. When the humans poison her kind with a new deadly weapon after years of not attacking, it costs Aelila one of her own and her mother's impending wrath. The Siren Queen sends her daughter on land to carry out her revenge: to kill the human King once and for all. Aelila then finds herself sent into the midst of the human royal court to fulfill her mother's biding, but there's one problem. Aelila can't kill, and she doesn't want to become the monster the deed would make her. Instead, Aelila is thrown into a courtly battle as she faces enemies, self-doubt, and her growing affections for a human Prince. • 🌊||COMPLETED||🌊 🏆#10 in "sirens" 2/26/19 🏆#5 in "creatures" 3/18/19 🏆#1 in "seas" 5/21/19 🏆#15 in "medieval" 7/8/19 🏆#25 in "mystical" 9/15/19 🏆#3 in "siren" 10/17/19 🧜🏼♀️ 1k on July 6, 2019‼️ 🧜🏼♀️ 2k on November 28, 2019‼️ Cover by: @Jells_Complete

I'm surprised that I'm still standing on the rock and haven't been tossed into the whirlwind. Huge waves crash down upon the rocks making deafening sounds.

While it comes down one single thought comes in my mind. This is how I die. Then the waters devour me. ___________________________________________ What's the worst crime you could ever commit?
