AriaA Little Mermaid Dark Fairy Tale Retelling

Third in the Happily Never After Series of dark fairy tale retellings…

A pirate wounded on the open water and left for dead.
A loyal friend and merman destined to keep me safe.
And a royal prince contracted to be my husband…

My name is Aria, otherwise known as the Little Mermaid.

After finding a human adrift after a vicious battle with a Kraken, I breach my banishment to save the brave pirate, Captain Hook.

Though I know I have no business involving myself in human affairs, I can’t help my attraction to the roguishly handsome pirate—his silver tongue, his body riddled with muscle, and his mouth which I swear is made for sin.

My life is quickly uprooted when my aunt announces that in order for me to reclaim the throne from my cruel father, King Triton, I require allies.

And, in this case, allies equal marriage to a man I’ve never even met, Prince Andric.

Meanwhile, my heart and body belong to the legendary Captain Hook, a man who teaches me the very meaning of desire.

The seas continue to rage, with new and violent monsters creeping from the deep to attack at every turn.

Accompanied by my devoted friend and bodyguard, the incredibly handsome merman, Bastion, I must face the man who brought me to ruin and threatens to destroy everyone I love.

Can I make it out of the battlefield with my life and loves intact?

Or will my heart be just another casualty of war?
