Twisted Fairytales Collection

In the coastal fishing village of Whispering Wave, where summer brings throngs of tourists and fairy tale entities, a dark terror lurks. As the sun sets, the serene waves become treacherous, releasing the funa-yurei, sinister Sea Phantoms that drown anyone who dares to wander the streets at night. Lorelai Blackwater, the village witch, reveals a grim solution: to quell the nightly horrors, the sea monster umi-bozu demands a virgin sacrifice.

Axol has always known his place. As the familiar to Serina—mermaid, witch-in-training, and daughter of the infamous Sea Witch Melusine—he cleans up her spell disasters, cooks her meals, and tries to keep her out of trouble. Even after she gifted him with speech through magic, he’s still just her adorable pet. A talking axolotl. A servant. But from Axol’s perspective? He’s her guardian. And he’s terrified. Serina may be sweet, but she’s reckless, spoiled, and entirely too much like her mother for comfort.
