A Reverse Fairytale Series by Holly Hook

I am Princess Carlen Seepsen and I hate my life. My sisters keep making me act all prim and proper for high society, my father barely realizes I exist, and the high and mighty Edwart (Ahem, Edward) keeps insisting he's a gift to me. Oh, and I almost drowned because my family's ship sank. In a storm. On my sixteenth birthday. Except I didn't. A young man with a perfect chest, sea-green eyes, and a deep, delicious voice just pulled me to shore. I guess that part wasn't so bad... moreI am Princess Carlen Seepsen and I hate my life. My sisters keep making me act all prim and proper for high society, my father barely realizes I exist, and the high and mighty Edwart (Ahem, Edward) keeps insisting he's a gift to me. Oh, and I almost drowned because my family's ship sank. In a storm. On my sixteenth birthday. Except I didn't. A young man with a perfect chest, sea-green eyes, and a deep, delicious voice just pulled me to shore. I guess that part wasn't so bad. But did he have a fin? But now everything's falling apart. Something's in the ocean. Something, or someone, is sending storms to my kingdom and collapsing our society. And now my father's about to marry me off to (gasp) Edwart to keep me safe. When a sorceress offers me a chance to visit the king of the undersea kingdom, I've got to act. Running away means leaving my kingdom to ruin and worse, spending the next fifty years with a moron noble. But agreeing to the deal might cost me so much more than I ever imagined.
