Origins of the Siren Wars: The Siren Wars Saga, #0.5

About this ebook
A century ago, the human-mer treaty was established to protect the mer from the humans while they guided ships through storm-plagued waters. Now, Aila and her cousin, Persephone, act as representatives for their grandfather, King Gaspar, to the human world.
The mermaids share a close bond with the Prince Jarek, but when Alia catches Persephone trying to siren him into the waters, she must work to protect her friend from her cousin without hurting the human-mer relationship—something Persephone's mother won't tolerate.
War is brewing and Aila and Persephone are caught in the middle of a battle they never saw coming—one that will last for another century.
Every war has an origin...she just never thought it would be her.

To my new friends in the mermaid world—thank you for being ever inspiring, magical, and all around lovely!
My skin tingles under the deep rays of the sun as I stretch out on the castle steps. The edges of the water cascade over my fins—a stark contrast to the warm rays of light.
I shiver in delight.
Jarek runs his fingers over my hair, tangling them in my locks as he brushes my tresses. His boots rest near my head and I lazily rest my arm over his feet. I smile up at him, returning his grin before he looks out at the sea.
That sounds magical, Aila,
Jarek remarks in a far-off voice. I wish I could see that.
Perhaps one day you will, Jarek,
Persephone leans over, resting her head on the prince’s shoulder.
I’ve known you for four years, Seph, and never once have I been able to swim far enough or hold my breath long enough to visit your realm,
he replies sadly. It’s just my luck that I would end up with two such optimistic best friends. I’ll never be able to visit you though—at least, not beneath the surface.
"Which is why we come to you, our friend," I say, pushing myself upright. I rest a hand on his knee, gently lowering my chin.
You know I adore your visits,
he recovers, offering a smile. His eyes are still sad.
Jarek looks transfixed on something out in the water. When I turn, a ship sails in the distance, so far away that it’s a foggy mass embedded in the clouds of the setting sun.
You girls should probably go home,
Jarek sighs. It will be dark soon and you don’t want to get caught during feeding time.
Traveling in the dark doesn’t scare mer, but traveling when the sharks make their way in to find their dinner is a terrifying experience.
We’ll be fine, Jarek,
Seph tries to convince him. Just a few more minutes.
No,
he shakes his head. I must insist that you go. You can come visit me again soon.
He stands to his feet, nearly knocking Persephone and I off balance. The prince retreats up the steps to the landing at the top of the concrete staircase leading to the water. He produces something shiny, holding it up for us before he walks back down the stairs.
Take this to your grandfather, Aila, as a sign of our respect.
He places a golden ring in my hand encrusted in pearls. The sunlight glints off it, flaring into my eyes. I run my fingers over the intricate design.
If you put it on your thumb, it will make it harder to lose,
he smirks. You both have such tiny hands.
Delicate,
Persephone corrects him, making him chuckle.
Off you go,
he nods toward the ocean. I’ll see you ladies again soon.
We wave before slipping off of the steps and dropping into the water. The water surrounding my face, pulling my hair away from my body as I descend into the ocean, is comforting and refreshing.
I don’t like that we can’t stay longer,
Persephone complains as she locates the midwater squids we brought with us to guide us home in the limited light. Once we reach the dark
