A carefree cruise turns into a fight for survival when Aria is swept into the ocean and saved by a mysterious merman with haunting purple eyes and secrets darker than the trench he calls home. Marked by ancient magic and bound to the Deep, Aria is thrust into a world where glowing temples hold ancient trials, sea creatures speak in thoughts, and her fate is no longer her own.
As she struggle to make sense of this underwater realm, one thing becomes clear: Nerion-her brooding, beautiful rescuer-is more than just a guardian. He's tied to her in ways neither of them understand. And as danger stirs in the depths, so does something else between them. Something powerful. Forbidden. And possibly... written in the tide.
Romance. Magic. Danger.
The sea didn't just save Aria.
It claimed her.

When the beloved prince is lured into the ocean by an enchanting song and never returns, the king launches a brutal hunt, slaughtering the creatures of the deep in his grief and rage. But vengeance never comes without consequence. Beneath the waves, the Sea King mourns two daughters lost to the blades of men. And in his fury, he prepares for war. As his court begins to fracture, one of his sons, Prince Virel, is tasked with a mission of seduction and revenge: lure the human king's only daughter, Princess Helena, and destroy her. What begins as a plan to break her becomes something far more dangerous. Because Helena is not the naive royal Virel expected-she is fierce, clever, and scarred by grief of her own. And when betrayal crashes over both their worlds, neither is prepared for the ruin... or the spark. Now, alliances are shifting. Kings are scheming. And amidst whispers of war and the shadows of drowned love, a new question emerges: Can peace be born between two enemies bound by blood and heartbreak? Or will love drown where vengeance reigns? For fans of dark fantasy, enemies-to-lovers, political intrigue, and star-crossed fates, this sweeping tale of sea and sorrow will pull you beneath the surface... and refuse to let go.Complete
