Hells Mouth Child-Eating Demon

By Vianka Van Bokkem

My mother, her sisters and offspring are known as Nereids, or sea nymphs. Most of them live in the ocean, but some, like my mother and a few others, choose to live in the forest. My name is Eunice.
Every fifty years my Nereid family has to sacrifice a nineteen – year old princess to Lamia, the child-eating demon. Unfortunately for me, the fifty-year pact is this year, and I am the only princess who is going to be the required age soon.
Will handsome-brave Khasius from Helios help me escape my fate? Or will Lamia claim him as well.

Every fifty years my Nereid family has to sacrifice a princess to Lamia, the child-eating demon.
