Deep in the oceans, the Sea Queen rules Atlantica, the kingdom of the mer. A powerful witch herself, she has a secret weapon: the Huntress. The Huntress preys on sailors and ships on the ocean's surface, and within the deadly waves, she tracks down rebels fighting against the rule of the Sea Queen. 

Ariel has many titles-the Huntress, the Slayer of Men, Heir to Atlantica-but she holds in particular close to her heart: sister. And it's for her sister that she carries out her aunt's despicable tasks, that she kills humans and mer alike. So when her aunt demands she go on an insane quest to track down a lost item that would make the Sea Queen unstoppable, she agrees--for a price. 

---

Prince Eric Halliran of the Nereidian Kingdom knows that humans are losing the war with the mer. The Huntress is growing stronger, while the entirety of the eighteen kingdoms only grow weaker as oversea trade dwindles by the day. But there's still hope-an ancient artifact that held the power to put a stop to the Sea Queen and her Huntress. So Eric hunts down an expert in mythical oceans, tracks down a map, and sets off with his crew for a power that could change the course of the world entirely.

These Gilded Seas by AmyJohnson895

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.
