An ancient land protected by a Tower of Light,
its people ever tempted by Siren song,
and a girl who falls for the wrong boy.
On the island of Skylge, electricity is only for the Currents - the rich ruling class who once came from across the sea and brought the holy fire of St. Brandan to Skylge. Ever since, the light in the Brandaris Tower has protected the islanders. Heeding the Siren's call will drown your body and steal your soul, but the sacred light in the Tower will chase the merfolk away.
When Skylger girl Enna welcomes her brother back from a long sea voyage, he gives her a special present from the mainland - an electronic record only playable on a Current device. The problem is that Royce Bolton, Current heartthrob and the town's most gifted pianist, wants it too. After she stubbornly refuses to sell the LP featuring his favorite artist, he suggests sharing the record by secretly meeting up in his private summer house. Taken aback yet thrilled, Enna agrees - and discovers that there's more than meets the eye when it comes to Current society and the history of Skylge. Why do the Sirens tempt the islanders to give themselves up to the sea? And where does the Currents' monopoly on electricity really come from?
While struggling with these questions, Enna begins to fall for Royce, risking everything to be with a guy who is clearly wrong for her. She will learn that the sound of Sirens isn't the most treacherous thing out there to haunt her dreams.

Song of the Deep (yandere simulator AU)
Sixteen-year-old Aoi has spent her life hidden in the shimmering city of Underwater Buraza Town, where sirens train their voices to guard the deep. But Aoi's voice is flawed-beautiful, yes, but unpredictable, carrying strange undertones that make the elders uneasy. When a mysterious shipwreck scatters debris across the reef, she's sent to investigate and discovers a human girl clinging to a floating spar. Instead of letting her drown, Aoi saves her, singing a lullaby to soothe her panic. The girl-Shiromi-wakes just long enough to see Aoi's eye before darkness takes her. Shiromi survives, but she's changed. She hears music in her dreams, notes that seem to come from the sea itself. Drawn back to the shore, she meets Aoi again under moonlit waves. Their secret meetings grow into something more-an intoxicating mix of curiosity, tenderness, and danger. But Aoi's people believe humans bring ruin, and whispers of a hunter searching for "the siren who sings storms into being" begin to spread. As the ocean's magic turns volatile and a prophecy of a love that will either save or destroy both worlds' surfaces, Aoi must choose between her heart and her home. Together, she and Shiromi may be the only ones who can calm the waters-or drown with them. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE BOOK COVER OR YANDERE SIMULATOR! EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS!
Bound by the Sea
The sea gave her freedom. The sea took it away. Lyriana of the Coral Court has always belonged to the ocean-fierce, wild, and untamable. But when her mother, the Sea Queen, orders her to marry a prince she doesn't love, Lyriana flees her kingdom in search of her own destiny. She dreams of freedom beyond duty and thrones, but freedom comes with a price. Caught in a storm above the reef, Lyriana is trapped in a fisherman's net and dragged aboard the Sea Serpent, a pirate ship commanded by Captain Rowan Blackthorn-a man known across kingdoms for chasing legends, not obeying laws. Fierce, clever, and haunted by secrets of his own, Rowan sees in Lyriana not a monster to fear but a mystery to claim. Imprisoned far from the water that gives her life, Lyriana must fight to survive among men who see her as treasure, a weapon, or a curse. But as she learns more about Rowan, she discovers he's searching for something deeper than gold-something the sea itself may have hidden. As their worlds collide, old myths rise again. Curses stir beneath the waves. A power older than both sea and sky begins to awaken. Torn between hatred and a strange pull toward her captor, Lyriana faces an impossible choice: Escape back to the sea and abandon everything she's begun to feel... or risk her heart-and her freedom-to uncover the truth about the tides that bind them. Because some bonds aren't made by chains. They're made by the sea.

Ocean's Justice
A mysterious castaway. A Scottish hero determined to protect her. Can they survive the storm? Cast adrift on the Indian Ocean, Maria carries a terrible secret. Wherever she goes, death soon follows, and she's powerless to prevent it. William McGregor boarded the SS Trevessa in search of adventure, but he gets more than he bargained for when he saves the mysterious Maria from the sea. She can't tell them her tragic tale, so the superstitious sailors make up their own stories - and some would sacrifice her to the waves to save themselves from the coming storm. When the sharks start circling and the storm closes in, are sirens more than just a myth? A tiny taste of what's in store: My defiance was futile. What did it get me? A small raft drifting across the Indian Ocean, with nothing but the sound of waves and the smell of salt and coal-smoke. Smoke meant a ship. I was saved. I squinted into the sunlight, but the waves hid the vessel from me. Maybe I was looking the wrong way. I didn't have the strength to sit up and see. Rough hands seized me. I struggled, but my weakness won. Blue eyes drifted above, the same colour as the ocean below. A tangle of wiry seaweed obscured the rest of the man's face. "It's all right, lass. I'll take care of you." Darkness took me first. This book has been published and is available wherever you buy good ebooks.

The Shorekeeper
Cassian Vale was once a sailor-maybe a smuggler, maybe a wreck diver, maybe a fugitive. His memories are fractured, glimpses of sea spray, fire, hands slipping beneath waves, and a woman's voice singing as the world went black. He carries deep grief, though he doesn't yet know its source. There's someone he failed to save. Someone whose voice still echoes in his dreams. His last true memory is of a storm that shouldn't have existed. In truth, he's been here before. He died once-washed into the sea, body broken, soul scattered. The siren sang him back. Or maybe the sea did. Either way, he doesn't remember dying. Just the drowning. - The locals call it Saint's Rest, a place whispered about in dying breaths and near-drowning hallucinations. A place where you go when you're running-from the world, from your past, from yourself. You're found by a woman who sings to the sea. They say she's one of the Saltwater Saints-beings chosen by the ocean, touched by something older than gods. But she's no witch. She's something far more dangerous. She is a siren, cursed-or blessed-to walk among humans. She has a voice that can command, seduce, or destroy. She trades music for memories. Her presence quiets storms... or summons them. And for reasons she doesn't explain, she helps you.Complete
