Tattooed mer-shifters are climbing out of the secret depths to claim their soul mates and save their race! First Lieutenant Soren burns for icy Aya, but his dark past now threatens all of Atlantis. Aya must show the harsh warrior that he's worthy of love—and claim her own power—before their city is destroyed by an ancient nemesis.

Aya is determined to save her family's company and her favorite cousin, Elyssa, even though it means confronting the dark, powerful lieutenant who always gets under her skin. When her masterful plan ends in disaster, Soren is there to save her life—by turning her into a mermaid queen. Now she can’t get away from the hard-bodied warrior. And the more time she spends in his bulging arms, the less she wants to try…

The queens of Atlantis must rise. Their enemies will stop at nothing to destroy the fragile mer-human partnerships, including awakening an ancient monster that inhales cities. Locked in Soren’s deadly past is a secret to save them all—and only Aya holds its key.

This is a complete novel with a happy ending! Also, it features steamy mer shifter love scenes, epic undersea battles, and a crotchety giant cephalopod named Octopus Kong. It can easily be listened to on its own but you will enjoy it even more if you listen to the rest in the series. For mature listeners only, please!
