The Pirate's Deal
An urban fantasy Little Mermaid retelling perfect for fans of Crescent City and The Cruel Prince.
Everything changes when the Ice Mer King says, “I want you to kill my daughter.”
Erik
I am the Pirate of Death. I have spent my life on the seas, maintaining my reputation as one of the most fearsome pirates to ever sail the waters in Aranthium.
Then, the Ice Mer King makes a deal with me. Kill his daughter, and my life-debt is paid.
Fail, and my life is forfeit.
Sounds easy, right? If only the princess didn’t have such a talent for getting under my skin and consuming my thoughts.
Helena
My father trades my voice for legs I don't want. A whole month on a human-only crew doesn’t sound like my idea of fun.
What I want is love, safety and family. Somehow, I find myself tangled up with a dangerous Pirate whose fate lies in my hands.
Falling in love with him is exciting, effortless. But I don’t want to be owned by anyone.
“Little Mermaid meets Captain Hook, except the voiceless heroine has a knife? Yes please.”
