What if the Little Mermaid died, and her sister decided to seek revenge on the prince?

Mermaid Kyra is devastated when her beloved sister dies as a result of the human Prince Rhydian’s betrayal. Driven by her grief and sorrow, Kyra strikes a dangerous bargain with the sea witch to get her revenge. She will leave her underwater world behind, become human and infiltrate the Whitecliff Estate as a handmaiden to Rhydian’s new fiancée.

Moving into the estate, Kyra encounters Lord Nicholas Turner, the gorgeous young man she once rescued from a shipwreck. With her identity hanging in the balance, she tries to resist her mixed feelings for him to keep her plan and her true nature from being compromised. Falling in love with a human destroyed her sister. She doesn’t intend to let the same happen to her, no matter how sweet and handsome – or how good at training her to sword-fight – he may be.

But as humans begin to die mysteriously around the estate, Kyra and Nicholas uncover darker schemes with lacings of dark magic that could threaten both land and sea. When they join forces to unravel the truth, Kyra must decide whether her thirst for revenge is more important than following her heart.

The Wicked Prince is Book 2 in the Nethervale series, but the series can be read in any order. Each book can stand on its own.
