Description
Genderbent Little Mermaid retelling meets Brave in this debut NA Fantasy Romance about a fat human princess who dreams of a life of adventure on the ocean. Perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco and Legends & Lattes.
Kenna has never wanted the life ahead of her; trapped in her castle and married to someone she does not love. She dreams of a life of adventure, exploring the ocean, searching for mermaids. Except mermaids don’t exist. At least, that’s what she has always been told.
Unfortunately, her plans for exploration are thwarted. Every heir must wed, and with war on the horizon, her time is up. Five suitors are vying for her hand, but Kenna vowed never to marry someone only after her crown. Only, one of them doesn’t seem to care about her title, refusing to even use it. Just as she begins to consider opening up to him, he disappears.
Kenna chases after him and learns his secret, before a storm wrecks her boat. Finding herself stranded on an island with him, Kenna has no choice but to trust him to nurse her back to health. With the tension growing, and sparks she doesn’t trust flying between them, Kenna has to decide how to balance the desires of her heart and her duty to her people. And how far she’s willing to go to learn the whole truth.
Advance Praise
"Call of the Sea's charm and passion swept me away, with the kind of fat, neurodiverse heroine I've long yearned for more of." - Leanne Schwartz, author of A Prayer for Vengeance and To A Darker Shore
"If you're in the market for a romantasy that feels like a Disney movie (but make it adult), then this one better be on your TBR! It's got ALL the good things; a wholesome ride-or-die sibling dynamic (the female main character and her too-charming-for-his-own-good brother), a flirty golden retriever love interest with a whole lot of sass, a main character who is both fierce and witty, the perfect amounts of tension and pining, a sizzling almost-kiss in the middle of a storm, and SO. MUCH. MORE." - Maha, bookstagrammer @onetruedaydreamer
