Daughters of the Deep: a Dark Depths Companion Novella

With voices said to ensnare sailors and lead ships to their doom, mermaids have earned a reputation as monsters of the depths. All have heard stories, but few know the truth of the deep sea nymphs who hunt on the vast sea, preying on human flesh in order to meet their ends.

A once glorious underwater kingdom is in decay after the death of its king—an old god—and the only male among them. The daughters of the deep sea have turned to humans as a means to keep their race alive, and therein lies the taint. More and more have been born of improper breeding. Half human and half nymph, they appear far too human to be useful as anything but slaves.

In a time before she was called Treasure, she is nameless, Innominata. She is a mere prisoner in the kingdom until an unlikely friendship draws her to the world above—to learn the truths of her culture, to the knowledge of a lost power, and to a man who doesn’t know she exists.

DAUGHTERS OF THE DEEP is a companion piece to the novel DARK DEPTHS.
