The Pull of the Tide

Mermaids, sea witches, selkies, ahoy! Dive into ten tales of sapphic romantasy.

Separated by land and sea, two lovers ache with yearning. Can a human and a mermaid really make a life together? Elsewhere, a selkie despairs, trapped in an arranged marriage, only for her fated heart mate to pull her in with a sweet song. Across the sea, two pirate ex-lovers must work together against a foe trying to steal a goddess's power. On a seductive island, a swordfish shifter and a human crash together and come apart. Can they piece together their shattered supernatural connection?

This gender and identity-inclusive sapphic collection features ten pearl-sized ocean-themed stories of love and adventure on the high seas.

Stories by SD Simper, Elliot Ason, Erin Branch, Ali Williams, Aoibh Wood, Theresa Tyree, Rosemarie Dillon, Erin Casey, Julie Brydon, and Evelyn Shine
