Sometimes following your heart can end up destroying the ones you love.

When seventeen-year-old Eviana Dumahl is faced with the responsibility of an arranged marriage and clan leadership, she is forced to choose between the life required of a mermaid and one of a teenage girl simply infatuated with the wrong guy. Kain, her devoted fiancé would make a wonderful husband except that she's been in love with Brendan, a shape-shifting selkie, ever since they were kids. Choosing to abandon her family, her clan, and her life with Kain will have dire consequences far beyond anything she could have imagined.

A war is brewing amongst the clans and Eviana unwittingly becomes a pawn in the intricate schemes of a twisted mastermind. With Brendan's life on the line, she has no choice but to involve those who she once considered friends. Amidst encountering senseless tragedies and immense loss, Eviana discovers that she is more valuable as a clan leader than anyone ever suspected. Her survival is not only dependent upon the loyalty of her friends, but also on her acceptance of a life that she had so adamantly tried to escape.

Promises is the first book of The Syrenka Series trilogy following Eviana and her friends through the perils of growing up in a discrete world that inherently threatens human society.

Award FINALIST in the 2017 Best Book Awards!

Beneath the cover of this book lies a world of shadow people. A world that displays the different sides of people that are revealed only when the light changes position.

Stories of dystopias, manic inner thoughts, and prudent ravens are just some of the threads woven within these chapters that explore the hidden layers of the human psyche.

In order to understand our inspiration, find a dark corner and light a candle; cast just enough illumination to catch a glimpse of an inner self. Here, rather than admiring the rose, we are examining the thorns, the sharp edges, the blurred images, the distorted reflection. We present to you a collection of knots made from the personalities, worries, phobias, and images of both real and imaginary people, some easy to pick apart, others never to be straightened.

Please, look as deep as you want. Find yourself tangled in the intrigue and abysses of facets and falseness that entwine the pages of this anthology.
