Kingdom of Sirens and Monsters

A dual retelling of Snow White and The Little Mermaid, following a twin who discovers a dark family secret and must break a long-standing curse to save her family.

"Mirror, mirror, in the shell that thy lay,
Who is the fairest in Odyssey Bay?"


On the island of Odyssey Bay, a wedding day looms-and Coral will do anything to stop it.

Since their mother died, twin sisters Coral and Kendra were raised solely by their father. But since Melody came along, their father has been swept into a blinding, whirlwind romance that Coral fears will end in heartbreak and loss.

It feels like nobody but Coral can see Melody's true nature-she's wretched, power hungry, controlling, and clearly desires to obtain their island resort and family wealth. But Kendra adores Melody, and her father is smitten, leaving Coral the sole sceptic.

Then Coral meets Lysander-a mysterious, handsome stranger who returns her surfboard after it's lost in a storm. Lysander knows things about Melody, about Coral's dead best friend Maya, and about Coral's mother.

When Melody's true and terrifying nature is revealed, Coral has no choice but to escape to an unknown world beneath the sea-where ancient magic, family secrets, and power she didn't know she possessed awaits...

A mermaid and a siren—an unlikely friendship, and one that would tear the land and the sea apart.

Princess Lorraine, heir to the Atlantis throne, dreams of the lands above the sea, but knows they are forbidden to Undersea beings like herself. Then she meets Melody Pryor—daughter of a powerful siren clan—and an unlikely friendship blossoms.

Despite her family's warnings, Lorraine and Melody’s friendship is strengthened through their shared love of adventure. But Lorraine knows that succession is different in the kingdom of Coronis—that Melody might one day overthrow Queen Chora, and if she does, she will become a ferocious ally... or a deadly enemy.

No siren male is good enough for Melody Pryor—she desires power, not love, and plans to challenge Queen Chora for her throne. While most beings cower in her presence, her unlikely friend, the Atlantis princess, does not.

Intrigued by her boldness and bravery, Melody entertains their friendship, unaware of the uncharacteristic attachment growing between them. But when a sailor falls from his ship in a storm, the two must decide his fate: to save him, or to drown him.

In that moment, both beings realise just how different they truly are: as one yearns to protect the man she loves, and the other vows to kill the man who tore their friendship apart. When Lorraine bargains her tail and flees to land, Melody vows she will find a way to follow and get her revenge… even if it means she must rule the entire Undersea to do so.

The Little Mermaid meets The Evil Queen in this stunning prequel novella, where the story of Coral Klassan’s mother and step-mother will finally be told.

Heart of Stone and Sea-foam

All of Coral's worst fears have come true.

Her father is dead thanks to her wretched, siren step-mother, and as a fully transformed mermaid, she's a prisoner in the Undersea. But turning to sea-foam is the last of her worries when she realizes that her battle with Melody has caused her to inherit the title of Reigning Queen.

Now, with her heart magic twice as valuable, she must tread carefully in her attempts to adjust to mermaid life and reclaim her best friend's soul from the treacherous Sea of Souls. But Coral soon finds herself in trouble once more, and she realizes that if she's going to accomplish any of her goals, she may need the help of the very siren step-mother who destroyed her life in the first place...

Lysander's newfound emotions have been an adjustment.

As tension builds between the kingdoms, Lysander and Coral know they must present a united front against Eugene's forces-that their bond is the only thing maintaining Coral's Reigning Queen status, and without it, she won't survive the Sea of Souls, nor have enough power to dethrone Eugene.

But despite Lysander's attempts to navigate life as a fully moral being, he can't help feeling like his relationship with Coral is crumbling. Especially now that Coral's twin has arrived in Veranis, proving to be everything Coral is not. And though he doesn't want to admit it, he's beginning to think that he picked the wrong sister...

Curses will fall, songs will bind, and kingdoms will go head to head in this stunning conclusion to Pagan Alexandria's dual retelling of Snow White and The Little Mermaid.
