Beyond the Shore and Shadows, The Lena Duology
Fans of OF SONG AND TIDE by D. S. Murphy will adore this Little Mermaid retelling with a unique twist.
The merrow who angered Poseidon.
The man who loves her.
And an evil that could destroy them both.
The sea is calling. . .
Lena—born as a merrow but living as a human—is now in possession of the Magiske Skal: the shell once owned by the queen of the merrows. With its power comes untold danger, and should it fall into the wrong hands, the Fosse-Søfolk will face an evil they cannot overcome. Lord Jarl knows what Lena has, and he wants it for himself.
After running away from the Lundby-Wyatt Inn and abandoning everything she’s known, Lena finds herself in the company of the warm and kind Soren Emil. When the villagers turn against her and Soren, they’re forced to leave the burning Bror Boghandel behind and escape to a forgotten cottage on the edge of the shore. Lena knows she must get the shell back to the sea and destroy it before it falls into the hands of Lord Jarl—or worse, his possessive apprentice, Jace Wyatt.
With the help of some unruly pirates, Lena and Soren journey to the sea where Lena thought she'd never return. There, she will have to face not only the Sea King’s army, the Fosse-Søfolk, but an impossible choice to keep the Magiske Skal from the evil that it craves: sacrifice her own life, or the life of the man she loves.
What will Lena choose? Who will win the struggle for power?
