Cemetery Sea: PHASE 1

After growing up in a kingdom plagued by what seemed to be an endless war, Princess Lilium of León isn’t about to let it continue a second longer under her rule. So, despite the protests of her people, Lilium arranges her own marriage with Prince Warren of the rival kingdom Abbotsford to negotiate a ceasefire. But, on her way back from Abbotsford, all hopes for peace disappears when Lilium is thrown overboard and left to die in the middle of the war’s most prevalent battle ground, Cemetery Sea.

As she sinks to face death at the bottom of the sea, Lilium is rescued by an enigmatic mermaid named Sadie. Together, the two find Augusta, a rum-soaked pirate captain banished from León for treason. The three make a deal for passage upon Augusta’s ship back to León, but, before the trio can reach the kingdom and save Prince Warren from hanging, they must face storms, piracy, and hordes of man-eating mermaids to restore the peace Lilium seeks.

Cemetery Sea is currently undergoing major rewrites--so much so that the current working manuscript no longer reflects this draft. However, it's a lengthy piece of work that was going to rot on my hard-drive otherwise. As such, while I'm certainly no longer as proud of this as I originally was (the rewrite is happening for a reason), it seemed like a shame to not share it in some way.
