Nerida's life plan was simple: avoid court functions, sneak to the surface, and definitely do not fall for any of the boring merboys her father keeps suggesting.
She did not plan on Calder, her loyal guard and secret accomplice, deciding to gift her a drowning human prince.
Kai wakes up in an underwater cave convinced he's hallucinating. The mermaid princess watching him with equal parts fascination and skepticism doesn't help. Neither does the armed guard who clearly wants to drown him again-just slower.
Hiding a human in the merfolk kingdom is a terrible idea. Nerida knows this. She also knows that Kai challenges her like breathing, Calder is finally looking at her like she's not just his duty, and her best friend Lira is taking bets on how many males will end up in Nerida's bonded group.
Spoiler: it's more than two.
With palace guards patrolling too close, and a transformation ritual that requires complete trust, Nerida's going to need every inch of Calder's devotion and every stubborn argument Kai brings to the surface.
The Prince Who Sank is a spicy, banter-filled reverse harem retelling of The Little Mermaid where the princess saves the prince, the guard makes his move, and nobody follows the original script.
