Mermaid assassin hunts the tribe healer. May the Queen’s blood live forever.
Pike is enamored with Shuli’s sun-kissed, freckled cheeks. Yet she hunts him as a lethal assassin.
True, his tribe is taking the young mermaids from her Queendom. They claim it’s to save them from the Queen and her monstrous Kraken.
Even if being attracted to Pike is forbidden, Shuli can’t get his sea-green eyes out of her thoughts. Especially when the Queen’s courtiers read her mind in their evil games.
Losing focus because of Pike will cost her life… or her fins.
Play your part. Save the young. Or face the ripping.
A standalone slow-burn, fade-to-black / closed door romantasy inspired by oceanography and folklore, with mermaids, rusalki, and cutthroat court politics.
