About this ebook

The ocean was the end of my parents' life—he might be the start of mine.

An angsty MX monster romance

In an ideal world, my dead parents’ waterfront house would rot with them.

In an ideal world, I wouldn’t need the money from selling it, and I would’ve never returned to the island I fled from at eighteen.

But life is never kind to people like me, is it?

So I’m back where I left the friends who broke my heart and the ex whose bruised fingerprints I still can’t scrub off my skin.

The second-to-last thing I need right now is an injured, unconscious merman drifting over to my dock. And the last, the way he tells me I’m beautiful when he wakes up.

Tied to the Waves is an MX monster romance with a nonbinary protagonist, a sweet love interest, lots of hurt/comfort, dark themes, and spice. As a full-length novel with a HEA, it can be read as a standalone or as the first book in a series full of trans characters set in the small town of Brimrey Island.

Received for free via the author. Am I a monsterf*cker? I’m asking because me and Ness are practically the same person. Ness’s deep emotions hit me hard, and Echo? Bae. I would risk everything to be in his arms. This book hurts in the best way. The way Ness’s pain, weariness, and mistrust are described made me feel everything. Vee Debras' writing is incredible, especially in how Echo is portrayed and how Ness's grief is explored. Everything is raw, honest, and beautiful. Can’t wait for more!

About the author

Vee Debras (they/them) grew up in an isolated, creaky-floored house in the mountains. They spent their childhood staring at a dark corner of their tiny room, terrified that the demon lurking there would try to possess them.

In an unexpected turn of events, they became a queer monster romance writer.

Vee is obsessed with love and community, so of course hurt/comfort is their favorite flavor of story—life will hurt you, but the people who love you have your back.

When not going tap tap tap on their keyboard, you can find Vee enjoying a horror movie or the latest seasonal anime. Or maybe gazing out to sea while listening to Hozier (and crying about it, probably).

Join their newsletter at veedebras.com to be kept up to date with news, discounts, the writing process, and more. You'll also receive a free novelette featuring a nonbinary main character and a biblically accurate angel.
