Summary
I always knew this day would come. That just as my hair lengthened and my curves formed, I would make the transition from girl to woman.
To siren.
Arianna is the youngest daughter of a siren. To become a siren herself, she must kill a man and sacrifice his heart to the God of the Deep. But she never expected to be assigned to kill a prince or to fall in love with him.
Torn between her family and her new love, Ari must decide what lies in the depths of her soul.
If you like inspirational heroines, unique love stories, and some darker thrills and chills this dark fantasy retelling is for you! Buy this audiobook now to start this emotional and spell-binding journey!
Depths is a darker twist on The Little Mermaid that borrows from Greek/Roman mythology and early Christianity. An early version of this novel was published in Kingdom of Salt and Sirens Anthology (2019).
What are HighTower Fairytales?
HighTower Fairytales lean more toward the original sources (not Disney) with rich semi-historical settings. They have magic. They have scary monsters. And, most importantly, they have unique and complex characters who are trying hard to improve themselves.
They also include plenty of humor, and all the heroes marry their prince/princess charming and live happily ever after at the end!
Basically, these stories are meant to inspire but have a very difficult and occasionally dark tower to climb. They are conservatively marked at 14+ and are appropriate for teens and young adults.
Currently these stories include:
- Winter Falls: A Tale of the Snow Queen (2017)
- Cry Wolf: A Tale of Beauty and the Beast (2020)
- Depths: A Tale of the Little Mermaid (2020)
- Robin's Hood: A Tale of Sherwood Forest (2021)
- And more on the way!

Dive in for a good story.
I recieved this book via a promo code and this is my voluntary review.
In a twist on the original tale (not the cutesy Disney version) Ariana is the daughter of a Siren... a venegful woman who murdered her betrothed and sold her soul and his heart as a sacrifice to a Sea God for power and a new form. Her brothers became sacrifices and her sisters took the same path as their mother.... now it is Ari's turn to become a princess of the deep and make her own sacrifice. Her chosen target is the new prince of her mothers former betrotheds kingdom. Solis, a place not unlike Rome. They met, theres a shipwreck and eventually Ari has to choose between her family and her own heart. Learning to find her voice in a very different way she learns to speak her truth and what in her soul she knows she cannot do.
I loved the narrator, she brought the story to life emotion where sometimes the writing did not.
I didn't enjoy the authors note at the end, if I wanted a bible thumping lecture, I would go to church.
