Of Song And Tide - a dark...

D.S. Murphy

Dive into a mysterious world of romance, magic, and mermaids
Beneath the Waves, Secrets Await: discover a hidden realm where the line between fairy-tales and nightmares blur.
My move to Ireland was supposed to be a fresh start, after the tragic death of my parents. Instead, I found myself tangled in a chilling series of murders. As I pry open the cryptic chapters of my mother's hidden past, I'm caught in a treacherous current of intrigue, magic, and desire, pulled by two mysterious men: Sebastian, whose mystique and power are as deep as the ocean, and Ethan, whose allure is darkened by whispers of witchcraft and occult. Neither are quite what they seem.
With each tide, ancient powers stir within me—powers that could either save or condemn the merrow, an ancient race of mermaids lurking beneath the ocean's surface. As a pawn in a savage war that blurs the line between mortals and myths, I am both hunter and prey.
Here, between the land and sea, I unearth my true heritage: part mermaid, part witch, wholly entangled in an ancient war where witches hunt merrow for their potent blood and mermaids wage violent battles against their terrestrial foes. As the stakes soar, so does the danger.
Will the secrets of my mother's past drag me to the dark abyss, or will my own burgeoning powers lead to a fate more terrifying than the dark waters themselves? In this war, it's not just about surviving—it's about rewriting the fate of two worlds, entwined by violence and bound by blood.
In a race against time, I might be humanity's only salvation—or its ultimate downfall... but it could cost me the one thing my heart can't stand to lose.
Plunge into the shadowy depths of Ireland's coast in this dark fantasy, where ancient secrets swirl like the murky waters of the ocean, against a backdrop of star-crossed romance and deadly intrigue.
