The Night the Sea Kept Me

The Mourning Tide was a myth—until it dragged Vaelis into the dark, crushing depths. He expected the end, but he found Kael instead: a creature of the Abyss, terrifying and beautiful, who defied his own kind to save a human life. Now, Vaelis is trapped in the center of an ancient, brutal underwater war, bound to the shark-mer who sacrificed everything to keep him. In a world where the ocean demands payment for every act of love, they must decide if their forbidden bond is worth tearing the sea apart.VAELISI didn't believe in monsters until I felt the pressure of the ocean pulling me under. Kael saved me, but his mercy comes with a price I’m not sure I can pay. He is otherworldly, lethal, and the only reason I’m still breathing. Now, I’m caught in a war I don't understand, fighting for survival alongside a creature who views me as a treasure he’s willing to kill for. I came here a pampered Royal Prince; I fear I’ll leave as something else entirely.KAELMy world is bound by iron laws: the surface is ruin, and humans are poison. Yet, when I saw Vaelis sinking into my domain, my instincts betrayed me. I broke the most sacred rule of the deep to claim him, and now the ocean itself cries out for my defiance. They want him back, or they want us both destroyed. Let them come. I have survived the dark for centuries, but I will tear the foundations of the Abyss to ash before I let them take him from me.TOGETHERAs the politics and hidden underwater dangers rise to the surface, Vaelis and Kael must decide if their forbidden connection is worth risking it all.
