Summary
In a 1920s Faerûn traveling freakshow, Astarion—Gentleman Geek and reluctant performer-whisperer—is tasked with fixing the newest attraction: a melancholic merman. But the creature in the tank isn't a gaff. He's Gale, tricked and cursed by a hag to live in a freshwater tank and perform for gawking crowds.
When Astarion secretly brings him pilfered salt, something deeper than duty begins to bloom between the bloodsucker and the storm-eyed merman.
For one bright instant the car lit like a stage. The merman whipped around, eyes catching the storm—hazel, wild, electric—and fixed Astarion with a glare so sharp it could have drawn blood. Sun-browned shoulders. A tail the color of bruised twilight. Gills tattered along neck and ribs. The purple scar sprawling from chest to cheek.
Names are easy things to give when the other mouth cannot argue back, but this time the Gentleman Geek felt something different stir. The merman did not like being called Murray.
“Gale,” he murmured, tasting the word like brine.

Summary
Sameera is born magic-touched into a kingdom that had long since learned to fear the Weave.
After a incident that leaves the court shaken and whispers spreading through the castle halls, the princess flees under the cover of darkness, abandoning the only life she has ever known. Beyond the borders of her kingdom lies a world far older, stranger, and far more dangerous than the stories ever warned.
Guided only by a fox with unsettling intelligence, Sameera finds herself wandering through forgotten ruins, haunted places, and the remnants of a world where magic was once revered instead of feared.
But something in the dark has begun to notice her.
And somewhere along her journey waits a man who was once touched by greatness, before the world cast him aside.

Summary
Disgraced, rejected by his Queen and his former lover, Gale Dekarios hunts the seas as a pirate. But the greater shame is the Orb in his chest that rots him from the inside out. A year of searching, and his ship nears the rumored site of the Netherstones, the key to the Crown of Karsus.
The object that will break his Netherese Curse.
All that lies between him and the treasures of his redemption are waters infested by monsters…
Those murderous, urgeful, beguiling creatures.
Sirens.
When one spares his life, they make an arrangement that might see them both freed. Or dead.
