Black Sea Bright Song

by Shelly Jarvis

Princess Evannia, 19-year-old empath and heir to the Triton throne, is in lust. She's caught up in a secret affair with Rafe, her raven-eyed guard--until she learns he's already betrothed.

But heartbreak comes second to the Siren attacks. Triton's oldest enemy has returned, their silver eyes flashing and seductive songs pulling at Evannia's soul. She doesn't know what they want, only that their tridents are aimed at her.

After her guards are captured or killed, Evannia is forced to flee her underwater home. The sea isn't safe, but land is full of the unknown, and worse, humans. Outside the protected life she's lived, surrounded by human inventions and wonder, she finds her spirit--wild, unafraid, fierce. The woman returning to the sea is not the same naïve princess: she is the blood of Poseidon and she will not run.
