The Mermaid Princess Returns To The Sea Without You

The Story

A public declaration shatters the mermaid princess’s world when the prince she sacrificed for claims a random court lady saved him. She has traded her siren voice for human legs to drag the shipwrecked man to safety, only to watch him marry a neighboring royal. Facing a cruel ultimatum, she must either stab the sleeping prince at sunrise to reclaim her form or dissolve into sea foam. She refuses to waste another drop of magic on a man who never remembered her. Her mer kin arrive after months of searching the coast just as the tide curls around her fading body. The saltwater restores her long-lost voice and iridescent scales. She turns her back on the glowing wedding palace perched on the cliffs. She dives into the vast, warm ocean to return to her underwater kingdom. She rules freely without a prince, leaving the human world behind.
