Description
An addictive Mer fantasy romance ...
A LOVE BOUND BY FATE. A KINGDOM ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION.
Beneath the waves, an ancient feud between the Mer and Drowned has simmered for centuries, sparked by a forbidden love and a tragic curse...
Morgana Scott has always been told something’s wrong with her—she senses people’s feelings.
She's lived a sheltered life under her overbearing mother, who drags her to countless doctors, but no one has a cure for her "condition."
The unexpected death of her grandmother sends her to Ruadán’s Port, a windswept seaside town on Scotland’s Isle of Islay.
Steeped in superstition and shadowed by eerie tales of Mer, Selkies, gods, and ghosts, the town holds a history as restless as the sea itself.
Here, she meets Finn—magnetic, dark, and utterly unreadable. His mystery pulls her in, but the very thing that intrigues her might be why she should keep her distance.
As the festival of Samhain approaches, the ocean whispers tales of the dead, and an ancient prophecy stirs—one that could unravel everything Morgana thought she knew about herself and the world beneath the waves.
Perfect for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and Twilight, Sea of Evil and Desire is a new adult fantasy romance novel that transports you to an eerie and atmospheric small Scottish town.
