Mermen and Maidens. Mermaid Magic Tales, #4

Mermen deal with dry-lander women of all types in this new collection.             The mermen who live off the coasts of Breadcove Bay and Agratica interact with women of the dry-lander realms in a range of ways: as friends or potential lovers, as family members within mixed-blood clans, and more. The mermen tend to have a laid-back attitude, but as with any magical creatures with personalities, sometimes things turn out in unexpected ways.            (And sometimes they confront challenges they never dreamed of.)             This collection of five original fantasy stories-first published here-explores the magical adventures of mermen: "Rescue Mission to Emerald Lake" finds Maynson guided by a mer angel to help a captive merman. In "Merman at the Market, " Jaire hopes to find a gift for the girl he likes .
