Full adult fantasy novel with the right doses of romance, scary, conflict, and sensuality.

The Merfolk of Allaquor is an adult fantasy novel that is current and deeply relevant in this day and age.

With a cinematic underwater world as a backdrop and a reimagined merfolk mythology, this book speaks loudly of love—pure, embodied, and unapologetic; of identities that flow beyond imposed boundaries and societal pressures.

This fantastical story carries a message of acceptance, compassion, and true love — in any shape or form.

It's an invitation for the reader to open their mind and heart, and shift how they see the world. An invitation to reflect on identity, the body, and the soul.

Excerpts

Sensual 

"...They touched—torsos coming together, arms interlacing, lips brushing. First gently, tentatively. Then intensely, with urgency. Their tails brushed and glowed; with each lingering touch, their desire grew. They slipped back into the water and swam entwined, spinning and holding hands beneath the waves. Finally, hidden deep in the shimmering blue kelp forest, they consummated their love—an act unlike any other: sensual, intricate, luminous...."

Scary/Horror

"...Swimming closer, she peeked in. Uh? What are those round black things? She reached over with her little hand—uh, what’s that? As her eyes widen, she screamed.

The strike came faster than lightning. A swish, a violent swirl, crowding bubbles, a putrid smell. Ribbons of blood began spreading, her head slowly sank and rolled on the sea floor."

Spitituality and Inclusiveness

"...love is not bound by flesh. Love does not begin in the ocean, or in our tribe. It awakens here, yes, but its birth lies far beyond the flesh, far beyond the names we take, far beyond any shape that claims to define us. The spirit that inhabits the flesh is much older than the body. It has traveled in many forms, loved through many tides. Gender is a shell the spirit wears for a season — nothing more.”

“The greatest Power does not divide by form. It does not bless one type of union and curse another. Instead, it harmonizes the spirits. If two souls make each other kinder, braver, and truer, then that bond is sacred.”

“...Sometimes, a male and a female spirit inhabit the same form.... The great Power blesses them all."
