Sea & Sky
This book by Morgan Lysand was a fun read. The story is about Kyler, a merfolk trying to break free from his past, and Gavin, a prince stuck in a tough spot. Their relationship starts with the prince and the mer both needing aid.
The fantasy setting was established in chapter one, with shifters, magical potions, and spells to create light and illusions. Kyler established himself as a strong person, doing whatever he needed to do to survive.
Prince Gavin was a scholar, fascinated by merfolk, and bringing the two together made perfect sense. Each needed help and escape from their circumstances, and by working together, they created a believable ruse. But how long could the ruse be simply a ruse?
The mix of magic, royalty, and pirates gives it a fresh vibe, and the balance between serious moments and lighter ones kept my interest.
If you like imaginative fantasy romance and merfolk, you'll love this story.
