A dark fantasy romance telling of The Little Mermaid that turns water into steam.

My name is Nerissa. I am a Lorelei, a mermaid, if you like. Some say our kind came from the god Poseidon. Others claim we are devils. I keep my own counsel as to my nature.

I have called countless sailors to their doom in the watery depths. None were worthy. None save the Pirate King Golthar. He laughs at death. He escapes my song.

I cannot tolerate this.

I seek the aid of the great sea witch Cantha. She takes my voice in return for splitting my tail in two. With the knife of her spell, she changes me into a mortal woman.

I can now board Golthar’s ship. I will pull him into the ocean where he will belong to me forever.

Meanwhile, a sea war brews. Invaders from the east raise black flags on the masts of their ships and paint their hands red. The barons of Estarieth call on the pirates to come to their aid. Golthar would lead his people to salvation.

Unless I reach him first.
