Of Song and Scepter: A Sirens of Adria Standalone
She's a killer in disguise. He's determined to make her his queen.
As a deep-sea death-dealer, Enna Valomir's life is kill the siren, deliver the body, collect the reward. There's just one problem. Enna owes a mermaid her life, and in the cutthroat waters of the Abyss, that's a lifelong blood oath of service.
When the mermaid orders her to kill the Abyssal Princess, Enna is pulled into an impersonation scheme with no choice but to infiltrate a gaudy surface court and help the mermaid win the heart—and throne—of its unwitting future king.
But Prince Soren isn't interested in courting the so-called Abyssal Princess, or any power-hungry princess, for that matter. He's finally met his match in her fierce and mysterious handmaid, and he'll be damned if he can't have Enna for his queen instead.
Breaking a blood oath means death, but Enna falls for Soren anyway. Now she must watch him descend into a ruin of her own making, or warn him of the ruse—and die.

About the author
Liesl West
4 books143 followersWhen Liesl West was a child, she desperately wanted to be the little mermaid. Maybe it’s because she grew up in rural Ohio, USA, with not an ocean in sight, but something about the ocean has always called to her. It’s just too bad she can’t swim. She can, however, write dark fantasy mermaid romance stories that feature strong female leads and wounded cinnamon roll love interests. And for now, that’ll have to be close enough.

This is my second time reading this book and I loved it even more this time!! If you love fairy tale retellings then you’ll love this book!
I devoured this in less than 24 hours as is typical for this authors writings. They are un -put-downable!
She's a killer in disguise. He's determined to make her his queen.
Forbidden love, morally grey FMC, no humans, all merfolk!
The world building is phenomenal and the spice level is probably about a 3 I’d say. Really enjoyed.
One of my favorite quotes is:
There is nowhere you can go that I will not find you, Wicked. Even if you flee to the depths of the sea, I will follow.
