When Liesel's mother died, Liesel felt as though the world had ended. Even worse, in his grief, her father moves them to a village deep in a sunless forest. Terrified, Liesel tries to flee. But before she can escape, she's bitten by a wolf and marked for a terrifying destiny.

Unfortunately, the wolf's bite only strengthens with time, and eventually, Liesel finds herself ensnared, albeit unwillingly, by the one she once loved. Together, they must undo the curse that's haunted his people for generations or both remain in the darkness forever.

Silent Mermaid: A Retelling of The Little Mermaid

How does a silent mermaid win a war of song? How does she break the siren song of the one holding her beloved captive?

Touched by the sun at birth, Princess Arianna has grown up between two worlds, neither fully mermaid nor fully human. But when she loses her people in a war between man and merfolk, she must flee into the enemy's arms. Her only hope of protection lies in the penniless prince that she once saved.

Prince Michael is at his wit's end. With his people starving and his treasury empty, the familiar girl from the past cannot be afforded much. He has only the resources and time for the barest of good deeds to repay her. But as Michael begins to hear the girl beneath her silence, he realizes she might be the distraction he can't survive without.

Meanwhile, poison fills the ocean as an unforeseen evil threatens the survival of both kingdoms. If they wish to restore their peoples, Arianna and Michael must reconsider their alliances, their plans, and an ancient prophecy that's been all but forgotten. Most importantly, they must decide if they can trust one another. For if they can't, everything and everyone they love will perish.
