Your Dark Sea

A supernatural gothic romance that entwines the song of a merrow and the crushed dreams of a pirate driven from the sea he loves so well. A standalone tale in The Creatures Series, it can be read alone or in subsequent reading with the rest of the series.

"I would give my life for her, for even the cruelest lashing of her water against my body. For it is then that I know she has touched me; has left her mark on my skin so that I can never forget her. She is the open wound that I carry with me for I cannot stop picking the skin apart."

There was a wine-dark sea that haunted his dreams; her song, her sea, entwined in all that he could be.

Etienne DeRosa is a man bound by a family ascending the throne, but all he seeks is the sea where the Merrow sings for him. When a storm rips his ship apart, he is left in a wake of chaos as his men drown around him, torn under the brackish waves and into the mouths of hungry merrows that feast on their flesh. It is only through the saving hands of a stray one that he is saved, left alone on the shore of a beach to be haunted by the guilt of his survival. Through winding country roads, he is chased by an ominous presence, an unspoken evil hunting him down. For darkness comes to all of those within the DeRosa clan, eventually.
