Voicebound- Dark Romance Fairytale retelling

Her silence was never a choice.

In the glittering depths of the Deep Current, Nerissa is worshipped as sacred untouched, voiceless, and beautiful enough to be paraded before kings and councils like a living offering. Every glance lingers too long. Every hand assumes permission. And every ceremony demands another piece of her body, her silence, her obedience.

They call her holy because it’s easier than admitting she’s trapped.

But beneath the still waters and polished rituals, something ancient is waking.

When whispers from the deep begin haunting the edges of Nerissa’s mind, the fragile control surrounding her starts to fracture. A ruthless prince wants to possess her before she slips beyond his reach. A dangerous royal guard watches her like he’s waiting for her to break. And something monstrous beneath the ocean ancient, patient, and terrifyingly devoted has begun calling her name in a voice only she can hear.

For the first time in her life, Nerissa wants more than survival.

She wants to be heard.

As buried magic unravels the truth behind her silence, Nerissa is forced to choose between the kingdom that caged her and the darkness beneath the sea that promises freedom at a devastating cost. Because once her voice is unleashed, it won’t just change her world.

It will drown it.

Darkly seductive, obsessive, and emotionally brutal, VOICEBOUND is a fractured fairytale romance inspired by The Little Mermaid, where silence is weaponized, devotion becomes dangerous, and love is as consuming as the ocean itself.
