The Prince and the Sea Witch

A Villain's Ever After
by A. G. Marshall
The Prince and the Sea Witch (A Villain's Ever After) by A. G. Marshall
Unrated

All mermaids long for the magic of a human soul. Only Briony isn’t willing to drown sailors to get it.

She makes potions instead, earning a reputation as a witch and becoming a social outcast. When a little mermaid asks for a potion that can reunite her with the human she loves, Briony reluctantly agrees. But there is more to the mermaid’s plan than a quest for love. The more Briony interacts with the human prince the mermaid wants to claim, the more she suspects that he never loved the little mermaid at all.


Discover a retelling that turns the classic fairytale inside out and upside down. Where mermaids lure men to their deaths with siren songs and the sea witch will be the hero if she survives the final battle.

The Prince and the Sea Witch is one of twelve short novels in A Villain's Ever After, a collection of standalone stories featuring villainous twists on some of your favorite classic fairytales. Read the series in any order for magical adventures . . . and fall in love with villains as you’ve never seen them before. Who said villains can’t have happily-ever-afters?

A. G. Marshall

A. G. Marshall

A. G. Marshall writes the kind of fantasy that remembers why fairy tales have endured for centuries. Her stories are filled with enchanted forests, hidden kingdoms, clever heroines, and unexpected twists on familiar legends, yet they never feel trapped by tradition. Instead, they explore what happens when beloved tales are viewed from a new angle, allowing old magic to reveal something entirely different.

Long before becoming a published author, Marshall was the child who could always be found in a library, wandering through shelves in search of new worlds. Stories became a constant companion, and writing soon followed. What began as a love of reading gradually evolved into a passion for creating her own adventures, inspired by folklore, fantasy, and the timeless appeal of characters who must discover their own strength.

That lifelong fascination with storytelling eventually found its way into a growing collection of fantasy novels and fairy tale retellings. Her work is particularly known for reimagining classic stories while preserving the sense of wonder that made them memorable in the first place. Whether drawing inspiration from princess legends, magical curses, or forgotten folklore, she approaches familiar material with creativity, humor, and a clear affection for the source traditions.

Outside of writing, Marshall has worked as a piano teacher and professional musician, a background that quietly influences her fiction. Much like music, her stories rely on rhythm, pacing, and emotional resonance. Moments of adventure are balanced by quieter scenes of character growth, creating narratives that feel inviting rather than overwhelming.

Across her books, certain themes appear again and again: courage that emerges from unlikely places, the importance of kindness, the value of self-discovery, and the belief that heroes do not need to fit traditional molds. Her protagonists are often resourceful young women who solve problems through determination and intelligence rather than brute force, making her fantasy particularly appealing to readers who enjoy character-driven adventures.

Today, A. G. Marshall has built a loyal readership among fans of clean fantasy, fairy tale retellings, young adult fantasy romance, and imaginative world-building. Her novels offer an escape into magical realms filled with wit, adventure, and heart, while reminding readers that even the oldest stories can still hold new surprises.
