Our Vengeful Souls
When Sereia overshadows brother and rightful heir, Triton, the position of next ruler of the sea is in question. Determined to keep his throne, Triton curses Sereia, banishing her from their underwater kingdom with a warning: if you ever return, you will become a monster.
Left for dead, Sereia washes up on the shores of Atlantis, discovered by a kind merchant with a tragic past. He earns her trust, but legends are powerful forces, and mermaids are burned for their magic. Searching for a way home, Sereia is forced to keep her true identity a secret, even as her feelings for her savior deepen.
Her skill with a blade finds her a place within the Atlantean army, earning her an enemy within their ranks. With a way back to the sea in her grasp, she wavers between the pull of revenge and the possibility of love on land. But when the fate of a friend is in the balance, she must make the hardest decision of all: be burned at the stake as a witch, or turn into a monster should she return to the sea.
