Pearl Shade

Yet another story idea...

Pearl Shade- Lenora thought that being a princess and marrying a stranger was bad. However, pretending to fall in love with a Sea God and being cursed to murder him was much, much worse.

Manacapilli's Notes: This story idea came from when I wanted to write my own version of the Little Mermaid fairy tale.

Lenora loved the ocean and hated the arrogant stuck-up prince her father wanted her to marry. So she decides to steal and boat and run away.

Meanwhile, Lucian was a reluctant sea god who had just found out that the siren princess he was about to marry was sent to assassinate him. Needless to say, the last thing he wanted to deal with was a little mortal girl violating his mortal/immortal boundary agreement.

Still Meanwhile, Leviathan is the Sea God's cousin, right-hand man, and general. His life is defined by duty, honor, and keeping his cousin from declaring war on everyone. Lev also suffers from an intense lack of personality.

So when Lucian admits that in a fit of rage, he drowned a mortal, Lev goes to investigate.

Lev finds not a mortal, but a mer, who can't seem to remember anything.

The truth is, a powerful rival Sea Goddess saved Lenora to use her to assassinate (she was behind the siren princess too) poor Lucian. Lenora is cursed to die if she tells anyone her name, where she comes from, or what she's been ordered to do. Her job? Seduce Lucian and kill him with her poisonous kiss. And try not to fall in love or kiss anyone else.
