The Siren's Handmaiden

By Aliza Santoro

She was sworn to protect the crown-until it marked her a traitor.

Nerissa has always known her place-loyal handmaiden to the mermaid princess, a blade in service to Nautalia, and a silent sentinel against the human world that stole her family. When a fragile peace treaty is forged between the underwater kingdom and the human realm of Astyra, Nerissa follows her princess to the surface, sworn to keep her safe-even if it means confronting old ghosts.

But when the royal wedding ends in bloodshed, all evidence points to Nerissa.

Forced to flee, Nerissa finds an unlikely ally in a roguish pirate with dangerous secrets of his own. As they navigate shifting loyalties and treacherous waters, Nerissa must untangle the truth behind a deadly conspiracy before war erupts once more-and decide where her loyalty truly lies: with the kingdom that cast her out, or with the found family willing to fight beside her.
