The Wrong Blood Pact

Reborn at the Black Reef Harbor merman auction, Lady Lyora swears to rewrite her fate. In her past life, she sacrificed 49 days of lifeblood to heal the wounded merman Kai, raising him to be the Sea King—only to be drained dry by him for her sister Isolde. This time, she picks the proud, powerful Atlas instead. She forges a soul bond with him, trains him relentlessly, and secretly poisons the scheming Kai. As Atlas claims the Sea King’s crown, Isolde loses everything. Lyora takes over the family legacy, embarking on a new life with her loyal merman king.
