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.

Sea of Evil and Desire
by J. Střelou
Review by Isabelle
The eerie atmosphere of this romance gripped me from page one! The menacing lure of the sea takes hold of Morgana as soon as she steps foot in the mysterious town where her grandmother died, and it only gets worse as she slowly realizes why her grandmother never let her come here.
I enjoyed the compelling prose, and the plot kept me turning pages at top speed. The love interest was a scarred, broody merman prince, which I never knew I wanted until this book. Read if you enjoy immersive fantasy worlds, gothic settings, bad boy mermen and dark family secrets.
