When the Ocean Calls by MusicalKehleigh

The ocean can be gentle, lulling one into a false sense of security. But the waters are never calm in the Bermuda triangle, and when the waves pick up, one may be dragged under the sea. Kiara Vatelle's love of the ocean brings her to The Bahamas for her senior trip. It is her dream vacation - four weeks of sun, sand, and quality time with her sister.

After swimming a little too far from the shore, Kiara finds herself in an ancient, undersea realm of mythical sea creatures. This new world is enchanting, and the mer-folk treat her like family, but are they just a little too eager for her to stay? From the ancient Kingdom of Oamer, to the hide-out of Pisces and Nereids, to a cursed Island and Tocona Isla, the odds seem to be against Kiara. Because even if she outwits those standing in her path, the seas always have their own plans. A tale of shady mermaids, astrological guardians, and a summer ocean adventure. ✧Second Draft ✧Cover by @_Foxicious ───｡ﾟ ♆ ﾟ｡─── ⚓︎ Featured | @talesofthedeep - Fintastic Reads ~ Sea Creatures ⚓︎ Featured | @mythandlegend - Atlantis and Legends on the Sea ⚓︎ Featured | @StoriesUndiscovered - November/ December 2020 ⚓︎ Finalist | @Fantasy Every Day in May contest 2019 ⚓︎ Honorable Mention | @PsychologicalNovel Reads Contest 2020

The Siren Song of Mareveila by Selenaannagg

Book Description: In a kingdom nestled by the sea, where beauty masks danger and politics are as shifting as the tides, a fragile peace is shattered when rumors of sirens prove true-and deadly. 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.
