About this series
The Blood Tide Chronicles
Series Synopsis
For generations, the people of the coast have dismissed stories of vampires as little more than superstition. Missing fishermen, abandoned boats, and whispers of pale figures beneath the moon are explained away as storms, wild animals, or frightened imaginations. Beneath the waves, the ancient cities of the mer-people tell their own legends of dangerous humans and endless wars, believing the surface world is as foreign as the stars above.
Both worlds are wrong.
When Weston Donovan falls in love with Brianna Nordith, a young mermaid who dares to defy her people's oldest fears, their secret romance sets in motion a chain of events neither world could have imagined. A single bite, a forbidden love, and an impossible child become the spark that awakens ancient myths, shatters fragile peace, and gives birth to a new species unlike anything the world has ever known.
As old enemies rise, hidden truths surface, and blood stains both land and sea, Weston and Brianna find themselves hunted not because of what they are—but because of what their family represents. Their struggle to protect one another will echo across generations, forcing vampires, mer-people, and humans alike to confront the terrifying possibility that legends are not relics of the past...
They are still being written.
Spanning oceans, kingdoms, and generations, The Blood Tide Chronicles is an adult dark fantasy saga of forbidden love, sacrifice, family, and survival. Blending supernatural horror with sweeping romance and epic underwater warfare, the series explores how a single choice can reshape history—and how even monsters must decide what kind of legacy they will leave behind.
Because every legend begins with a story.
And every story begins with a choice.

Stories
The First Of Nordith
Story 1 • 15 chapters
Weston Donovan has spent his entire life laughing at the old stories.
Vampires are nothing more than campfire tales told to frighten children. The disappearances along the coast are blamed on storms, wild animals, or desperate men who wandered too far from home. Monsters don't exist.
Until he falls in love with one.
Brianna Nordith is a young mermaid who risks everything each time she rises from the sea. While her people fear humans and wage endless wars beneath the waves, Brianna is drawn to the quiet young man waiting on the moonlit shore. Their secret meetings become a refuge from two worlds that would never accept them together.
Then Weston disappears.
Attacked by something he never believed was real, he awakens with an unbearable thirst and discovers that the legends he once mocked are horrifyingly true. As he struggles to hide the monster growing inside him, Brianna is left alone to face an impossible future—and the child she never expected to carry.
When Weston finally returns, the lovers are reunited only long enough to discover that their unborn son may be something the world has never seen before.
The first of his kind.
As ancient rivalries ignite beneath the sea and whispers of bloodshed spread across the surface, one desperate act to save the woman he loves unleashes a nightmare neither humans nor mer-people are prepared to face. A new breed of predator is born, and the oceans themselves become a battlefield.
Bound by love, hunted by two worlds, and willing to sacrifice everything for the child stolen from them, Weston and Brianna must decide whether love is enough to survive becoming the very monsters everyone fears.
Because some legends are born...
...and others are created.
