Trapped on a walled island with her people, Kestra aches for vengeance against the swarms of ravenous mermaids that ate her father fifteen years ago. The swarms threaten her town’s last supply ship—and the life of the brave young captain who smiles so charmingly at her whenever he makes port. With the help of her scientist cousin and the handsome captain, Kestra takes her future and her people's fate into her hands, determined to find a way to destroy all the mermaids for good.
Abused and miserable, Rake serves in the harem of the three mermaid Queens. When he is given one of his spawn to raise, Rake resolves that his little son will have a better life. With the help of a monstrous creature that deals in memories, he discovers an ancient secret—one that could lead to freedom.
Pitched as Attack on Titan with mermaids, this adult fantasy is perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Alexandra Christo, and Holly Black. The novel blends a dark, brutal setting with romance and humor.
(Contains violence, abuse, brief mention/implication of off-screen rape/sexual slavery, cannibalism, PTSD.)
For fans of Laini Taylor, Susan Ee, and Stephanie Garber. Angel romance, forbidden romance, bodyguard romance, sunshine and grump, mild to moderate steamy scenes.
Newly graduated from the Training Tower, Idra expects to be assigned to perimeter watch or a city guard position. Instead, she's given the dubious post of bodyguard to Galen, a human inventor indentured to one of the Sky-born lords. Galen is as irritable as he is brilliant, and he's working on a secret project, something that could correct the power imbalance between the Sky-born and the humans.
As Idra spends time with Galen, her sympathy for the oppressed humans deepens, and she uncovers a terrible secret—one that the charismatic Sky-born ruler would kill to protect. Defending Galen from talent poachers and spies is dangerous enough; falling in love with him is forbidden. And helping him overthrow Sky-born supremacy could mean death for them both.
(New Adult, standalone novel in the Savage Seas universe)
