The Siren's Call
➖After her mother's death, seventeen year old Karis tries to drown herself and is mysteriously saved by a boy who assumed she was unconscious. But some things he says don't add up, and he realizes the consequences of his actions, since saving drowning humans is against the law. So he gives her two choices: Never speak a word of what happened and go back to whatever life she despised so much, Or Come with him to an underwater city she never thought existed. After choosing the latter in a risky gamble, both her and the boy might be in for more than they bargained for when they discover the city is under attack. Will they be able to save it and the people in it in time, or will following the boy be a big mistake? After all, not every siren needs a song. ➖ Status: completed (but hopefully there will be a book two) 〰️Based off of a writing prompt 〰️ Text copyright © TylaStone ™️ 2018Complete
Tides of Fire and Song
The ocean is dying. Its once-harmonious song has turned into a discordant cry, the balance between life and destruction unraveling with each passing tide. Felix, a mermaid with a rare gift, can hear the ocean's pain-but he is powerless to heal it alone. Hyunjin, a siren born without the lethal voice of his kin, has spent his life as an outcast, caught between power and vulnerability. When fate draws them together, their voices entwine in an ancient melody, one that whispers of prophecy, sacrifice... and the possibility of something greater than either of them. Bound by a mission that could save or destroy them, Felix and Hyunjin must brave the ocean's deepest secrets-while resisting the pull of a bond neither of them can afford. Because the sea does not grant love freely. And its price may be too high to pay.
Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete

To Reach for the Moon
Where the heavenly bodies that are the Sun and Moon don't move. Where there is no conception of time, where the term day, months and years don't exist. A story of hope where hope seems lost. Where the world is split into six different regions, governed by the sun to the west, and governed by the moon to the east. Where children are born to be placed into divisions. Born to be either a producer, Born to be either a breeder, Born to be either a defender, Where humanity is plagued by waves of shadow-like demons born by the moon, working tirelessly to collect the delicate orchids that exist inside. Perri wakes in her Granja, awoken by her sister to become a defender. Her life goes a route never fathomed. Tragedy of her birth, Tragedy of deaths. She carries her sword so that tomorrow might be a better day.Complete

Waveborn
Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.Complete
The One-Hundred

When Cressa-la breaks this law, her world, and body, changes. Sure, change is normal... but when has growing scales ever been normal? • • • Watty Award Winner 2015: Best Use of Visuals • • • Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared.

When Cressa-la breaks the first rule of her tribe and touches the water surrounding her island, everything she knows turns on its head. Talking, sinister dolphins, mind control, and a whole world just under the waves await her on her eigteenth birthday... but she never asked for any of this. All she wanted was to become a Tribe Leader and take care of her village. It's amazing how one screw-up can change everything. A relentless darkness reaches for her, wanting her affections for his own twisted purposes. In opposition stands a fractured light, haunted by a painful past where corruption eroded friendship. Unless Cressa-la can bring the darkness to his knees and fight the war raging inside, the world is doomed. • • • Content warning: This story contains themes of depression and violence.Complete![The Alpha's Mermaid [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/59650348-256-k183858.jpg)
