Drowned Queen (Kings of the Abyss Book 1)

She drowned once.
The ocean decided that wasn’t enough.

Betrayed and murdered by the man she loved, Amberlyn is dragged into the crushing dark by a monstrous merman prince with glowing eyes, razor fangs, and a mutant body no human woman was ever meant to take.

Finnegan is the last royal of a dying undersea kingdom.
Five hundred years of poison have twisted the Mer males into something savage, ridged, massive, and desperate for a fertile mate.

He saves her life.
He claims her before thousands in a public ceremony.
He crowns her queen in blood and molten light.

Now the drowned human carries the hybrid heir that might save his species, wears her killer’s ring on a necklace of shark’s teeth, and rules a ruthless mutant court that kneels only because it fears what she has become.

A dark, enemies-to-lovers mermaid romance featuring:
• possessive mutant merman prince
• forced proximity in the deep sea
• revenge and public royal claiming
• size-difference intensity
• a drowned woman’s rise to power

The Pacific lied when it said it didn’t care.
Turns out it only needed the right monster to make it beg.
