Cheating death comes with a heavy fine.
When her sister drowned, Azure Galanides was given a choice: sell her soul or let the child die. The decision was simple, and Daneliya lived, but the consequences were worse than she had imagined. Azure became a slave, turned into one of the Sea Goddess’ murderous mermaids. From caregiver to killer, regret became her constant companion, and hope was a long-forgotten stranger. She didn’t deserve redemption. At least, that was what she thought until she met Elios.
His stubborn will to survive, even as she sent his ship plummeting into the sea, sparked something within her. His determination to save her from her fate turned that spark into a burning desire for freedom. But the second she ran, the hunt was on. The Goddess would stop at nothing to snuff out Azure’s life, and by helping her, Elios put a target on his back as well.
Can Azure protect Elios and gain her freedom? Or is she destined to die by the very hand that revived her sister?
This book does not end in a cliffhanger.

Having been taken from her home as a child after her parents made a deal with the Sea Goddess out of fear, Ocevia Kallallis became one of Miris' enslaved mermaids, tasked with luring souls to the depths for the remainder of her life. It was a lonely existence, with only the screams of her nightmares keeping her company. Until she met Azure Galanides, that is.
After living her first eighteen years as a human, Azure was forced to make a deal with the Sea Goddess when her little sister drowned, trading her life for the child's. A stubborn nature, and a burning desire to return to her former life, made Azure's transformation into a cursed mermaid something she couldn't help but fight against, even if it meant beatings. Ocevia never broke the rules, however, as her fear of the whip always kept her in check.
The decision Azure makes to rescue a human man instead of sacrificing him to the sea forces Ocevia to break out of her monotonous life, becoming something she never imagined she would again, and discovering things she never knew were possible.
After years of never dreaming for something more, her longing for the forbidden grows ever stronger as she and her friend fight to escape Miris’ reach.
Are Ocevia's dreams of freedom and love possible? Or will she spend her entire life as one of the cursed?
