The Shark and the Dragon King

To end her curse, she must destroy a king.

Marianna cannot control the creature that lives inside her. When she accidentally kills someone, she exiles herself from her home, her family, and from the temptation of the ocean. Longing to return, she's willing to jump at the opportunity when a stranger offers her a deal that seems too good to be true. In exchange for a talisman that will allow her to enter the water without the sharks' animal instincts overcoming her mind, she must travel to the bottom of the sea. To the undersea palace of the Dragon King.

And kill him.

But her quest doesn't go as planned. The strange creatures at the palace all know her name. The king greets her as an old friend instead of as a threat. What other secrets are hidden in these watery depths, and will they end up changing everything Marianna knew about her family and herself forever?
