Mermicide

❗ Big updates are coming ❗ All Illyria Series books are getting a major glow-up this month (July 2026) with exclusive new content and stunning new illustrations. Hold off on buying for just a few weeks so you don't miss out on the shiny new editions.

Outsiders would say they’re half-fish maidens from fairytales. Illyrians would say they’re vermin from the sea. Piper thinks she might just have fallen hook, line, and sinker for one.

Piper Tourneau has never been significant. She’s spent her whole life trying to take up as little space as possible, following her aunt Elvira’s every order, and expecting nothing more…because nothing more has ever been on offer.

Then Astrid surfaces. Blue-skinned, starlight-haired, and possessing a smile that has preceded more than a few drownings, she is definitely something more. She also happens to be the most dangerous thing Piper has ever wanted.

But as the island’s corrupt mayor pursues ambitions that Illyria’s shores were never meant to contain, mermaids go missing, and Piper’s eighteenth birthday draws closer – and with it, papers Elvira has already decided she will sign – Piper finds herself considerably more significant than she ever expected to be. And an against-the-rules romance may just be the least of her worries...
