Worlds Apart

In a kingdom on the edge of war, a crown prince carries the weight of his future, and a mermaid carries the ghosts of her past.

Serelina is mermaid fleeing from her pain who has lost everything. When her parents are slain by ruthless sailors, she flees the depths in anguish only to be swept ashore by storm and fate. There, half-conscious and tangled in seaweed and grief, she is discovered by Prince Alaric, heir to a crumbling throne of Eiravelle and a heart not yet hardened by duty.

Alaric is bound by blood to rule a kingdom at war. His people expect strength, strategy, and a marriage of political advantage. But in Serelina, he finds something forbidden. A creature of myth, a soul of fire and sorrow, and a love he never thought he'd be allowed.

As tensions rise between nations, Serelina is torn between the bitterness of her past and the strange, delicate hope she finds in Alaric's arms. Can she forgive the world that took everything from her? Or will she let vengeance drown the only love she's ever known?

Set against a background of fog-drenched seas, candlelit castles, and courtly secrets, Worlds Apart is a haunting Victorian fantasy romance where love defies fate and the greatest battles are fought not with swords, but with the heart.
