The Mermaid Who Hated The Sea And The Land

Neraya never cried when her father died. Known as the cruelest ruler of the ocean, the Sea King was feared by both mermaids and humans. When news came that humans had captured and killed him, the entire sea mourned but his own daughter felt only relief. To her, he had never been a father, only a king whose shadow filled her life with fear. Unable to bear the whispers of the sea, Neraya leaves the ocean and begins living among humans, hiding her true identity. Gifted with the rare ability to transform her tail into human legs, she moves between two worlds, searching for a place where she belongs. But the land brings her nothing but disappointment. Love turns to betrayal, trust turns to lies, and she slowly begins to hate humans just as much as she hates the sea. Everything changes when she discovers the truth her kingdom hid from her. Her father was not killed in battle. He was framed. Both powerful mermaids and humans worked together to capture him, chaining the strongest ruler of the ocean before ending his life. The man she believed was a monster may have been protecting something far more dangerous than anyone knew. Determined to uncover the truth, Neraya returns to the sea, where she meets a warrior who becomes the first person she ever learns to trust. For the first time, she feels love real love only to lose it when he dies saving her from the same enemies who destroyed her father. Grief turns into rage. With the power of both sea and land in her blood, Neraya begins a path of revenge that makes the ocean itself tremble. Feared as a rising force of destruction, she swears to bring down everyone responsible for her father’s death, no matter the cost. But fate has one last cruel twist waiting for her. The only human who truly understands her… is the son of the man who helped kill her father. Torn between love and revenge, Neraya must decide whether she will destroy both worlds or become the bridge that finally unites them. Because the daughter of the sea was never meant to belong to only one side. And when the truth finally rises from the depths, neither the ocean nor the land will escape the storm.
