Memories of Forgotten Waves

He can choose to forgive, but can he ever trust again? Aderin is the prince of the merpeople, and his people are being taken by a group called the Brotherhood of Mages. And not just his people. The Mages are capturing magical creatures of all kinds, enslaving them and using their magic for their unknown and nefarious purposes. When Aderin is almost captured by them and is rescued by a human mage called Ellwood, he finds himself falling for his rescuer. Just as Aderin whispers his words of love, he is captured by Ellwood who enslaves him. Aderin struggles to understand his newfound status and Ellwood's goals. Even as other magical creatures are enslaved by Ellwood who uses their powers to defeat and destroy the mages of the Brotherhood, Aderin is unable to hate the man. When Ellwood changes magic itself, freeing all the magical creatures and making it impossible for them to be enslaved again, nearly dying in the process, Aderin decides to heal and forgive him. But can he trust Ellwood ever again? And does Ellwood even want his love? Memories of Forgotten Waves is a queer, dark fantasy, romantic adventure. If you love stories with morally grey characters who are trying to do the right thing, Queer normative societies, and magical creatures with themes of love, forgiveness, trust, and redemption with a heavy dose of angst and magic, you will love this gritty tale.
