post-event slaves undersea underwater

At the bottom of Ulva lies the Holdfast, a crumpled mess of old ships that form the colony’s foundations. Hidden in its dark recesses are items from a time when humans lived on the surface, a time before they were forced to take shelter in the oceans. 

Calder trawls the mangled ruins in the hope of finding something that will make him rich. A chance encounter means he no longer has to do it alone, now he has a partner, a girl named Trice. 

The darkness contains more than treasure though, it hides secrets too. When the pair stumble into a gang of slavers and their latest captives, they put their lives on the line to rescue one, but what will their heroics cost them?All Rights Reserved

In Too Deep by feistylittlefox

**Slow Updates** "Thank you human." She nods. I nod in return, not quite sure what to say. Still incredibly confused by the whole situation. She looks down at my sweats again. "That is where the human male appendage lies, am I correct?" She asks, head tilted, finger tapping her chin, eyes boring into my crotch. I choke on my saliva, taken aback by her complete lack of filter and the strange way she's looking at me. At...it. "I-uh...Yes." She nods in confirmation. "I have watched the human mating ritual once from behind a rock on the sea. It looked very fun. You appear to be a human male at his prime. I am in this form and am therefore compatible." She looks away from my dick and up into my eyes. "I am curious to know more. Let us mate, mortal." *** A Siren Queen in exile, Dhalia has traveled the seas in solitude. Suddenly, she finds herself thrown into the human world. Dylan was just walking the beach and lamenting life, like he does everyday as the sun sets. The last thing he expected was to find a gorgeous woman washed ashore. He finds himself quickly becoming enamored with the ethereal beauty, but there might be more darkness to Dhalia and her world than he could have ever imagined. Can Dylan handle sinfully sweet Dhalia, or is poor Dylan In Too Deep?

Sea Of Dreams by EvangelineNott

Historical romance about a human girl and a merman. [Preview] A long arm snaked around her waist, pulling her through the current. Adrenaline hit her like a crushing force, and she saw whisps of white silk clouding around her vision. She began to struggle vehemently, still holding onto her sketchpad as tightly as possible. She raised the book above her head and beat it against the iron body, dragging her deeper. She felt her sketchpad suddenly get snatched out of her hand. The flash of white crossed in front of her and two eyes, dark as death, watched her so closely that she could see nothing else. Her chest throbbed with the desperate need to breathe, and she began to struggle again, thrashing her limbs as much as she possibly could to unleash herself from the creature's locked hold. Powerless, exhausted, and drowning, Victoria's eyes fought to remain open as she ceased fighting her fate and grew still. The pain in her chest seemed to pulsate throughout her entire body, and she felt the darkness coming on, but she ignored it as she remained listelessly suspended in the deep abyss. The black eyes remained fixated on her face as if she were the only thing that existed. Her eyes fluttered closed, but not before she saw the obsidion depths of the creature's eyes swirl and turn to a dark shade of sapphire blue.

Maysie's Galaxy ONC 2023 by cynicalchristian

38 A seemingly bottomless pit was found, for which the depth can't be determined. Over time, scores of people began using it to illegally dump trash. Many have jumped believing that they'll find life's answers within it. Today, we learn the truth about the hole. ~~~ Susan "Maysie" May Hornsby was a toddler when the sinkhole opened on the edge of the Missouri River, in the Tristate area (and six towns of Sioux City). It drastically changed her nation (drying up the Mississippi, slowing interstate trade to a standstill, making drinkable water a concern, forcing the nation to reroute a whole major waterway-not to mention the dumping and jumpers) but the child herself couldn't understand any of that. This made her nightmares all the more remarkable-though no one would know it, at the time. When the world ended, she was left with "the bad man" Alder Nahimana as her sole guardian. She was raised in the void of space as "the only people left alive". But there were more humans out there-and once her guardian passed, she sets out to find them, accidentally becoming crucial to the preservation of her mankind along the way. Not bad for a child whose world ended when she was 5.

Decades later, a young woman, Alecia, with her memory wiped, wakes up into a world she knows little about-except that it is now a husk of its former self. She ventures forth, unaware of the dangers that lay ahead. Very soon she finds out she's not like any human being. With her vulnerable mind, she possesses abnormal abilities not known to her. Not knowing how to tap into it. Not knowing if it can be controlled, she can only hope that it doesn't consume her. Alecia meets new individuals. Some are friends; some are enemies. While she learns little by little the mystery of her past, she finds herself drowned in need of knowing her origins. . . but it seems that the unknown is much more terrifying than she has ever imagined. -- • 1st Place Winner of Tree Awards 2018 • Best Rank in Survival #15 [10/05/2018] • Best Rank in Science Fiction #166 [21/05/2018] - Big thanks to @renesmeewolfe for my previous book cover.
