Being a royal should make my life easier, but it only compounds my problems. When my father, the new King of Valora, succeeded the beloved King Tiberius, many of his subjects believed he killed my uncle just to gain the throne. His new policies only make the people hate him more. Just my luck, they transfer their loathing onto me. Even my best friend and my boyfriend aren't enough of a buffer, and I'm continually fending off verbal, and sometimes physical, attacks. That's when my powers start growing...

My life as I know it is over. And no, I'm not being dramatic. I've been living as a human, but now I have to return to my mermaid roots because my dad is the new king of Valora. As soon as we arrive, he sends me to the Dark Sea Academy. Whispers and glares greet me at every turn. Students accuse my dad of killing the previous king, his brother. My first night, the most popular girl tries to kill me. I barely escape, only to run into Bash. He's older and one wrong move from being expelled. Also as gorgeous as he is arrogant.

Every other princess prepares to rule her kingdom after her father's death. Me? I have to get ready to rule all underwater kingdoms - after killing my father. I already fulfilled the prophecy once. Kind of. I have no interest in killing again. But no one asked what I want. It's this stupid Queen Sirena prophecy. My father - my real, biological father - is obsessed. And he's the king, so he gets what he wants. Namely me, embracing a destiny I fear.

It started as a day like any other for Alex Mercer. Then he heard the news. Something that only happens in other places is happening in his hometown. Just a few miles away at his daughter's middle school, a shooter is on the loose. Alex does what every other parent in town does - he races to the school to find out if his loved ones are safe. His world falls apart around him, and he can't turn to his best friend because they're both dealing with scathing terror. As the motive behind the shooting comes to light, secrets and betrayals spiral out of control.

It's been nearly a full year since there were any local kidnappings, but now girls are going missing left and right. There are few commonalities linking them together, and the only evidence Alex Mercer has are the ransom notes left on each victim's front door. Tensions mount as clues point to the notorious kidnapping ring driven from town twelve months ago—the same ring that's tormented him and his loved ones for years. With so many young lives on the line, Alex is desperate. And he works tirelessly to solve the crimes before anyone dies. But if the ring has returned?

Alex Mercer thought his worst days were behind him. Instead, his life is falling apart from the seams. Again. While his marriage is on the brink of divorce, his daughter is once more the target of a potential abductor. Alex will do whatever it takes to keep her safe while working to get to the bottom of the infamous kidnapping ring once and for all. He believes one of his superiors in the police department to be involved with the criminal mastermind, and he will do anything to prove it. But if his suspicions prove wrong, it will end his career.
