The powers that come with a covenant are strong, intoxicating and head-turning.
Like a surfer on the waves, you feel on top of the world.
Until the wave comes tumbling down, crashing upon you.
Such was the case of Ella Macmillior alias Aquifer, chosen of the Seven Seas to open the portal for Lord Dagon, Leviathan, Behemoth and the Queen of the Coast to invade the earth realm.
She didn't ever want to be controlled. She wanted to control.
Unfortunately, that wasn't to be the case. She was destined to be a mere tool to be used and dumped. A slave.
There was no backing out. She was stuck deep in the mud. The heat was stifling, gradually siphoning life out of her.
Until she encountered her means of escape.
Until she broke free from a lifelong shackle.
Or so she thought...
Beware, lest your foe pounces upon you like an unsuspecting prey.
Beware, lest you are led to assume that the flame of evil has been quenched.
Because, as you stomp on one, squelching the flickering embers, the minions are just around the corner, gathering sticks to ignite another fire.
Ella Macmillor, chosen vessel of the seven seas who has water-bending powers, meets Deborah, a vessel of the One called the Redeemer, and breaks free from the clutches of her captors-Mergirlina, her assigned mermaid demon, Leviathan, Behemoth and Queen of the Coast and the head of them all, the ancient Lord Dagon.
Find out how she battles her hideous past, finds her formerly unknown siblings, finds love and becomes truly free.

❝ Let's rule a Kingdom, shall we? ❞
•○•
When human slave turned Fae Handmaiden, Cara Arnel found herself in the Kingdom she had initially been fleeing to, alive, breathing and waking up with changes both physically prominent and mentally revealing, she could no longer ignore her ominous visions.
•○•
The guilt of Seraphima's last memory weighed heavily on Cara, devastating her just as much as Arion while Damien was itching to get a glimpse of his Soulbound and Lucien's walls of ice were chipping away. With her Alpha King pulling her in his orbit, came truths Cara finally uncovered.
She soon realized that every person she'd met so far was crucial to the answers she'd sought.
But the surprises in the power-play, the lies, the deceit, the politics, and various Royals soon failed to have their intended frazzling effect on enlightened Cara unlike those around her with each passing day.
Unfortunately enough, the courtesy of the answer to who she was did not extend to the four alluringly dark pieces of her heart.
It was four protective males that lusted for answers while their hearts tore apart in search of a feeling that was eating them alive.
Meanwhile, threats of Killian kept rising as he steadily grew in his dormant powers and army. Cara could no longer stay still what with new alliances forming and old promises broken, both allies and foes warring. She knew there was no escaping the plans for the future laid out so brazenly.
It was time to start preparing.
But making choices is never easy.
Thing was....this time around, Cara was much more prepared.
Just not for the strikes her heart would have to take in the process.
