Of Song and Scepter by Liesl West

5.0

This book captivated me with its dark and thrilling retelling of The Little Mermaid. Enna Valomir, a deep-sea assassin, is bound by a blood oath to a mermaid, compelling her to kill the Abyssal Princess. Infiltrating a surface court disguised as the princess, she helps the mermaid win Prince Soren’s heart. However, Soren is smitten with Enna, not the false princess. As their forbidden love grows, Enna must choose between her deadly oath and protecting Soren, risking her own life. The richly woven underwater world and the intense romance kept me hooked from start to finish. A perfect read for those who love dark fantasy and mermaid tales with a twist.
