Description
The addictive Mer romantasy you've been waiting for...
A LOVE BOUND BY FATE. A KINGDOM ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION.
Beneath the waves, an ancient feud between the Mer and Drowned has simmered for centuries, sparked by a forbidden love and a tragic curse...
Morgana Scott isn’t like anyone else—she senses people’s feelings.
The unexpected death of her grandmother sends her to Ruadán’s Port, a windswept seaside town on Scotland’s Isle of Islay.
Steeped in superstition and shadowed by eerie tales of Mer, Selkies, gods, and ghosts, the town holds a history as restless as the sea itself.
Here, she meets Finn—magnetic, dark, and utterly unreadable. His mystery pulls her in, but the very thing that intrigues her might be why she should keep her distance.
As the festival of Samhain approaches, the ocean whispers tales of the dead, and an ancient prophecy stirs—one that could unravel everything Morgana thought she knew about herself and the world beneath the waves.

Thanks for the advanced copy of the book! I quite enjoyed this first installment, looking forward to seeing what happens next and how the story is resolved. I really liked the setting and could totally relate to the FMC. This was a semi new to me story take on Mermaids that I quite enjoyed and would be interested in seeing more of.
