Melancholy of the Sea

Melancholy of the Sea

Merida was a certified black sheep of the family. She loves to hear her grandmother's story about fairies, dragons, pirates and princesses and her favorite was the tale about the legendary pirate named Escarial, and a Princess called Athalia. Listening to her grandma’s folktales was her routine all throughout her eighteen years of existence. That’s why when her grandmother died without having at least a last talk with her, she turned badly depressed. She didn’t go to school at all, and just stayed in her grandmother’s room to lock herself away from the rest of the world. Three days after her grandmother’s funeral, strange things happened in her room. The painting her old woman often gazed on suddenly moved and glowed. She succumbed to it, helpless, and had nothing to do to save herself because of the force that was beyond overwhelming. The next thing she knew, she was in North Sonnenfield. What’s more shocking to her was the name she’s called as by her servants; Princess Athalia—the heir of the throne, and the only daughter of King Eldar of North Sonnenfield. She was in awe, because she remembered that King Eldar was the character in the story. The palace where she found herself lost was the same place where the brave princess who ventured the dangerous sea had lived. She loves being in a Sonnenfield. However, she knew to herself that the day will come when she would wake up from a dream. But life always has a twist because Captain Escarial came to the scene. She expects that he will be gentleman just like pirate captain in the book. But to her horror, this Captain Escarial is snobbish, rude and proud. Oh, how she hates him!

Lost Between the Tides

Lost Between the Tides

Morgan is just trying to survive her cousin’s destination wedding in Bermuda. She didn’t come prepared for emotional damage, and she certainly didn't expect the biggest drama of the weekend to involve a head injury, a blocked tunnel, and a very confusing run-in with three dudes dressed like they raided a Pirates of the Caribbean casting call. Turns out they’re not LARPing. They aren't actors. It's not a fun sunset cruise. No. They’re privateers. Like, real ones. From the actual year 1725. And Morgan? She’s stuck. She may have a pretty good handle on how to survive in the wilderness, thanks to her ex-Green Beret dad. But eighteenth-century ships, sexist crewmates, and suspicious captains aren’t exactly her area of expertise. Especially not Flynn, the broody, grumpy, maddeningly handsome Captain who might rather toss her overboard than deal with whatever disaster she’s brought onto his ship. But as danger closes in, from rival ships to secrets Morgan didn’t mean to bring with her, she’ll have to find her place in this brutal new world. That is… if she doesn’t drive Flynn to keelhauling her first. Or fall for him. Maybe both. Adventure, slow-burn tension, and fish-out-of-water chaos collide in this swoony, high-stakes romantic tale across time. For fans of enemies-to-lovers, pirate drama, and heroines who don’t know when to shut the fuck up.

Is 'Fathomfolk' part of a series or standalone?

3 Answers2025-06-28 03:55:09
I just finished 'Fathomfolk' last week, and I can confirm it's the first book in a planned series. The world-building is so rich—half-submerged cities, political tensions between humans and fathomfolk—that it clearly sets up for more stories. The ending leaves major threads unresolved, like the rebellion’s next move and the protagonist’s evolving powers, which screams sequel bait. The author’s website mentions a follow-up novel titled 'Tidechild' coming next year. If you love intricate fantasy with oceanic themes, this is your next obsession. I’d pair it with 'The Bone Ships' for another nautical fantasy fix while waiting.

Who is the author of 'Fathomfolk'?

I recently stumbled upon 'Fathomfolk' while browsing through fantasy releases, and the author's name stuck with me because of how unique it sounds. Eliza Chan crafted this mesmerizing underwater world, blending folklore with modern twists. Her writing has this lyrical quality that makes the oceanic setting feel alive, like you can almost hear the waves whispering secrets. Chan's background in British-Chinese culture adds layers to the storytelling, giving the merfolk and other creatures depth beyond typical sea myths. If you enjoy authors like Naomi Novik who reinvent legends, Chan's work will hook you from the first page.

What genre does 'Fathomfolk' belong to?

I just finished reading 'Fathomfolk' and it's this awesome mix of fantasy and political intrigue. The story dives deep into a world where mythical sea creatures live alongside humans, but there's all this tension and discrimination going on. It's got action-packed scenes with underwater battles and magic, but also really thoughtful moments about society and power struggles. The way the author blends folklore with modern issues makes it stand out from typical fantasy novels. If you're into books that make you think while keeping you hooked with cool creatures and magic systems, this is totally your jam. Similar vibes to 'The City of Brass' but with more oceanic mythology.

Where can I buy 'Fathomfolk' online?

I just grabbed 'Fathomfolk' myself after searching everywhere! The quickest option was Amazon—they have both Kindle and paperback versions ready to ship. If you prefer supporting indie bookstores, Bookshop.org lets you buy online while contributing to local shops. For audiobook lovers, Audible has the narration available with their membership credits. Some readers reported finding signed copies on the publisher's website, but those sell out fast. Check eBay for rare editions if you collect physical books. Prices vary, so compare options. I snagged mine during a Barnes & Noble weekend sale with free shipping.

How long is 'Fathomfolk' in pages?

3 Answers2025-06-28 17:06:48
I just finished reading 'Fathomfolk' last week, and it's a solid 368 pages of pure underwater fantasy goodness. The page count might seem hefty, but the pacing is so tight that you'll blaze through it. The hardcover edition has this gorgeous foiled cover that looks even better when you see how thick the spine is on your shelf. For comparison, it's about the same length as 'The Priory of the Orange Tree' but with more concentrated worldbuilding. The font size is standard for adult fantasy, so no eyestrain issues. Perfect for a weekend binge-read with some themed snacks.
