Sea of Pleasure and Pain by J. Střelou

Twists and Turns. Underwater Political Intrigue. Secrets and Seductions.
The Deep Saga is a fantasy romance series with some dark elements, perfect for ocean lovers (or merman enthusiasts).


DEADLY POWER, A DESTINY REVEALED, AND A BURNING DESIRE FOR REVENGE.

When Morgana arrived in Ruadán's Port, she was innocent and naive. Now, she carries the ancient powers of a Selkie Goddess within her, and she wants to finish what her grandmother started. Morgana trains with Louisa and Aranare while Skye faces battles of her own.

As darkness grows in the Atlantic, Morgana journeys with her sworn enemy to the Kingdom of Thálassa for answers tied to an ancient prophecy that could save the oceans from the impending threat.

The Thálassians value pleasure above all things, and even war is an excuse to revel. But will Morgana be able to keep her wits about her surrounded by such sensuous delights?

Think Pirates of the Caribbean meets Indiana Jones, with spicy scenes and darker themes. It’s a new adult fantasy romance novel that transports you to the decadent Mer kingdoms of the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans.
