Four misfits of the Golden Age of Piracy have to settle their differences long enough to get back a stolen magical artifact---not so easy when His Majesty’s Royal Navy wants you dead, and when the shadows swimming under your ship want just the same…

One Siren’s Soul → a story of sailors, sea witches, sirens... and the absolute chaos when those three meet.

genre -- Historical Fantasy, LGBTQ+, YA pov -- First Person Limited, Multiple features -- LGBTQ+ themes, disabled/neurodivergent MCs, POC MCs, science-based magic system, ship logs/journal entries, and all sorts of pirate-y shenanigans~ content warnings -- Violence, mild body horror status -- Nearing the end of the first draft!

A vagabond sea witch, Dione’s been on the run for the past twenty years, unaging and alone, aside from the little dog now following her. Oh, him? His name’s Colin. He’s not really a dog. He’s a pirate that Dione cursed. The worst part? It was completely unintentional, and fixing it is far more of a challenge than either could imagine.

Particularly when the cure requires an ingredient from a creature that doesn’t exist, and even if it did, a creature that would much rather pick their bones from its teeth than give them what they need.

A little Spanish girl lives in the old cabin over the hill, a silver band about her ankle and an empty eye socket in her head. No one knows how she came to be there, who she is, or how she survives on her own. Celestine thinks that’s fair, considering she believes everyone else is a moron. It’s likely also helped by the fact that she has the ability to erase recent memories of her… “borrowing” escapades.

But a simple underestimation of a Navy sailor, the living legend Phoenix Solarin, leads to a bit more than she bargained for---an accident with a sleep charm, and next she knows, she awakens in an unfamiliar cabin. Except… this is a ship’s cabin.

And she’s afraid of water.
