The Fairytail Saga Series by S.K. Munt, Natalie Spasic

In a time when women were considered possessions, a girl was born with the conviction that she belonged only to herself-a conviction that would cost her everything she valued in the name of progress, but elevated her to a status unequalled by any man before then or since; Guardian of the ocean, and mistress of the moon.

A coming of age story beginning in 1044 B.C and spanning centuries- See how fifteen year old Anna L'Autienne, a french peasant and apprentice apothecary, took the vulnerabilities plaguing the women of her time and wielded them as weapons against everyone who tried to possess or suppress her. The untold story behind the mermaid myth and the origin of feminine wiles are one and the same, born in the name of vengeance but kept alive in the spirit of love and concealed under the surface of the ocean to this very day. Nothing was the same after the first siren sang. less

Mermaids have three rules to abide by: To breed, to protect the environment, and to keep their existence a secret, at any cost. Princess Ivyanne has been saving herself for an arranged marriage that's never eventuated since she came of age, to best cultivate her unique bloodline. And when the time comes for her to choose a new mate, the mer and human worlds collide as the race for her hand begins.

There is Blood In The Water A dream can become a nightmare in a matter of moments, and Ivyanne Court is living proof of this. She thought choosing between three potential husbands she was indifferent to was the worst thing that could happen to her, but she was so very wrong. Choosing between two she cares deeply for is that much worse. Especially when there’s a chance that one moment of irresponsibility has already predetermined her future... moreThere is Blood In The Water A dream can become a nightmare in a matter of moments, and Ivyanne Court is living proof of this. She thought choosing between three potential husbands she was indifferent to was the worst thing that could happen to her, but she was so very wrong. Choosing between two she cares deeply for is that much worse. Especially when there’s a chance that one moment of irresponsibility has already predetermined her future. Hands tied, heart bound, still mourning the loss of her best friend, Ivyanne cannot believe that having her unspoken wish granted could cause so much misery among those closest to her. The mers are no longer looking to the queen for guidance, or the princess for her decision- but the moon, for they believe that what it reveals as it wanes will illuminate Ivyanne’s path, whether she agrees, or not, for as tides sculpt the sand, the moon shapes their kingdom. But is it that simple? Is a heart divided, merely a heart in denial? In the distance, hidden in shadow but forever watching, someone thinks it is. Someone is convinced that the princess has created conflict in her heart, and will find resolution only by stepping into his arms instead. But he knows she will not listen to him and a quest begins, a journey from The Great Barrier Reef to the Antarctic Ocean, seeking allies to assist him, creating division within the kingdom for the first time in one thousand years. He believes that the moon’s power is dwarfed by his own, and if the princess can’t find a way to rule the men she thinks that she loves out of her heart, that he is going to take them out of her life any way he can. His whole life, other people have drawn the lines in the sand, but now, he is carving his own, deep enough to draw blood. Three Rings sees a shift in the mer way of thinking, but for a kingdom that was previously the pinnacle of perfection, this will be a jarring lesson to learn and will resonate from the community they have claimed as their own, to the furthest reaches of the Mediterranean, drawing fresh souls to Seaview, fresh jealousies, fresh insecurities, and fresh wounds. For what lies beneath is power previously unimagined, and one man is about to bend it to his will. This is book 2 of a trilogy. less

Fate is tired of being spoken for…. Hope has left the mermaid kingdom, and fear taken it’s place. Ivyanne is the most valuable resource the mermaid kingdom has left, and for every second that Ardhi exists and remains concealed, her life is in peril... moreFate is tired of being spoken for…. Hope has left the mermaid kingdom, and fear taken it’s place. Ivyanne is the most valuable resource the mermaid kingdom has left, and for every second that Ardhi exists and remains concealed, her life is in peril. As a result, Ivyanne now finds herself barricaded within the most gilded of cages in her usual town of residence, Airlie Beach, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef where she passes time learning her new responsibilities, mourning her personal losses and trying to ignore the one subject everyone wants her to focus on-selecting the future king once and for all. But try as she might to forget what her heart knows it cannot, as the moon draws the waves to the shore, so the siren will draw men to the rocks. And they’re through being patient. 
In a strange new fortress built for the sole purpose of protecting someone important, Ivyanne is being watched twenty four hours a day by the only merman she can trust herself to be in close quarters with-Garridan Loveridge, Tristan’s uncle and professional bodyguard. But Garridan knows that against the threat of a madman who can bend the weather to his will, one protector is not enough, and so he assembles a guard to keep Ivyanne safe. And so they come-the strongest of all mers, Marked and free, man and woman-dangerous and lethal-all questing for the chance to take out the threat, and claim the knighthood offered as reward. Ivyanne’s home gradually overflows with love, frustration and fear, and as the full moon draws nearer, the withdrawals hit the sirens hard and chaos ensues. Ivyanne will see that the system isn’t working anymore-something has to change-starting with her. And not too far away, the hunter waits still, corrupted by power, inspired by an ancient evil and determined to link his name with the royal bloodline any way he can. All he needs for that to happen is the full moon, and an overpowered queen. Heads Or Tails thrusts you into the lap of luxury and chaos. Tempers boil, temptations get out of hand, hearts will race and dreams will be shattered in a bloody battle for the ultimate prizes-Ivyanne’s heart and the King’s crown.
The mers are about to learn a valuable lesson-that fate can surprise you as much as you can surprise yourself and that nothing in life is guaranteed. less

For over one thousand years the matriarchs of the Court family have been zealously working to ensure that the myth of the Mermaid remains exactly that: a myth. But their task has not been a small one, and sacrifices have been made in the process; men have fallen, lives have been taken and hearts have been broken beyond repair... moreFor over one thousand years the matriarchs of the Court family have been zealously working to ensure that the myth of the Mermaid remains exactly that: a myth. But their task has not been a small one, and sacrifices have been made in the process; men have fallen, lives have been taken and hearts have been broken beyond repair. The Mers of Seaview think that they have experienced firsthand what a broken-hearted and powerful Merman is capable of doing in the name of vengeance- but they don’t know the half of it. Now, stirred up by Ardhi’s quest for vengeance, their greatest, oldest and most powerful enemy is ready to rip the ocean floor out from under everyone’s feet and make his wrath known after one thousand years of waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Ivyanne has always suspected that she was cursed, but she didn’t know that the curse was their creator’s doing. And now that she’s uncovered the staggering link between Anna L’Autienne’s darkest secret, and every single tragedy that has befallen her and the people she has cared about over the years, she knows that she has to put a stop to the vicious cycle before she loses everything. But Ivyanne cannot do it alone- she needs help, and she needs the help of the one person she has no right to ask anything of. But will he rise above his broken heart to become their champion when he learns just how his family has already lost to the sea in the name of the Court family? Or is he as damaged by the Siren song as their greatest foe? Ivyanne has had her happy ending- but whether it is her Happily Ever After remains to be seen. less
