THE STORY

About The Unchosen Mermaid

Betrayed and murdered by Prince Cillian after securing his throne, mermaid princess Vesper regresses to her seventeenth year. On the night of the royal mating contract, she refuses to be a pawn again. While Cillian chooses her treacherous sister, Vesper allies with the exiled Prince Alaric, sensing his hidden potential. Armed with the power to see soul corruption, she heals Alaric and builds a new legacy. Vesper is no longer a victim; she is a rising queen reclaiming her crown while watching her enemies spiral toward a ruin they earned. This time, she holds all the cards.
