Song of the Cerulean Sea: A Dark Why-Choose Little Mermaid Retelling (Twisted Curses: A Collection of Dark Fairytale Retellings)

A deadly siren. A cursed witch. A ruthless prince. When enemies fall in love, kingdoms burn.

Alura once led her sisters into battle against the human prince, Varik. Their defeat cost her everything - her powers, her voice, her place in the sea. Exiled and desperate, she strikes a bargain with the sea witch, Scylla: kill the human king and capture the prince's heart, or remain human forever.

But as Alura navigates the treacherous waters of human politics and forbidden magic, she finds herself entangled in a web of desire and deception, torn between the prince she was meant to destroy and the witch who holds her fate.

A dark fantasy romance weaving enemies-to-lovers tension, ruthless and dangerous characters, and high-stakes bargains. Perfect for fans of To Kill a Kingdom, The Sea Witch, and From Blood and Ash.
