Mermaids are the women thrown off ships when the sailors got afraid because having a woman on the boat is bad luck. As the women sink to the bottom, legs tied together, they change slowly until they can breathe, until they can use their tied up legs to swim. They drown sailors in revenge, luring them in by singing in their husky voices still stinging from the salt water they breathed.

The dark waters| ✓
I won't survive. I'm sure of it. Strong wind ruffles through my clothes and hardly allows my eyes to remain open. 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. I open my eyes wide enough to see the next wave coming. As it comes towards the rock, it reaches the height of a three-storey building and seems to loom over me for some time, like a monster looking at its prey with hungry eyes, before finally crashing down towards me like a waterfall. 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?

Siren
Legends, Myths & Fairytales. The world is full of these stories, specifically those told of mythical, magical creatures that dwell in the ocean - Sirens. Sirens are described as the most hauntingly beautiful and dangerous beings of the sea. They are rumored to lure sailors with their hypnotising songs. Ever wondered why? Our story begins in a small coastal town nestled between mountains and the shimmering, endless ocean. There, a young woman by the name of Marina resides. Marina's tale doesn't start as a Legend, Myth, or Fairytale, but as a rumor. Known for her celestial beauty and captivating voice, her destiny is not one she chose but rather one that was forced upon her.Complete

Worst of all: she's a woman. Having a lady can be bad luck on a ship. Falling in love with one is a whole other problem.Complete
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
