Dark Ocean Princess (The Cursed Seas Collection) Kindle Edition
My reign is life and my song is death. I am the siren, the Dark Ocean Princess.
A century ago, after the seas rose and billions perished, my ancestors entered into a covenant with the Tibetan monks. Their magic granted us survival as sirens in exchange for protection. We lived in peace.
Until the humans interfered.
Now the monks have fled and the siren stone has vanished. Our power is dwindling and the ravenous sea monsters are turning the seas red with blood.
I’m Princess Senra, the last heir to the Chinese Siren Empire. I must journey to the surface and risk my life where my song holds no sway. I’m tasked to befriend the enemy, blend in with the humans, and find the siren stone before it's too late.
Trouble is, I never expected to care for the humans. And one in particular makes my heart race in ways my fiancé back home never has. I’m faced with an impossible choice: save the humans or save my people.
A standalone, full-length novel in the Cursed Seas Collection, Dark Ocean Princess is filled with magic and mages, dragons and pirates, forbidden love and Chinese mythology!

- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018I’ve been DYING to read this ever since I saw this amazing cover (isn’t it gorgeous?!?) Nina Walker has a knack of bringing such uniqueness to her stories, and she did not disappoint! Epic plot from start to finish. To squeeze such a flawless story together in a single book takes talent! Nina pulled out all the stops out in this story. History, lore, mythology, intricate characters, and amazing storytelling!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018I first heard about Dark Ocean Princess through author Claire Luana, recommending it to fans of The Moonburner Cycle, which I loved. That, and the awesome cover, drew me in. While Moonburner took place in an Asian inspired fantasy world, this one takes place in a post apocalyptic China and Japan. The setting drew me into this story immediately, with the vivid prose making the world easy to envision and easy to read. I loved the world building, from the big stuff like the origin of the magic to the little details in each of the ruined cities that made it feel alive, as well as the undersea monsters and the humans, the magically enhanced subspecies of Sirens and the monks.
The story was fast paced with plenty of action and twists, and didn’t drag, as we follow Princess Senra in her transformative journey as she searches for a solution to the Siren’s dwindling magic as monsters attack their kind. After discovering that their tried and true methods to keep the magic afloat are gone, she sets out alone after viewing a prophecy of herself and her people’s future. I like Senra, loyal to her people, intelligent and cunning, and focused on the mission at hand, but willing to open herself to change. The other characters were interesting, including Kyon, with well rounded personalities, with a couple that surprised me. Though the romance in the story seemed to border on instalove to me at least.
The plot was good, though my major negative is the prophecy, which is one of my least favorite tropes of all time due to the lack of agency for the characters involved. And there’s hints of that here, as while Senra has agency and the prophecy isn’t the only reason why she jumps to action, some of the story feels inevitable. However, it doesn’t feel like it’s Senra’s only reason to do what she does as she has her own motivations and vows for most of what she does. I liked the ending, as it was a mostly fitting conclusion to Senra’s journey and really brought the themes of the story of trust and acceptance together.
At the end is a snippet of Prism, another Nina Walker novel, which has me interested.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2018Dark Ocean Princess is a mash up of themes between the Little mermaid and Moana, but still new, refreshing, and exciting. Walker does an excellent job at grabbing the readers attention and not letting go until the last word. Walker's best book yet.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018Wow. This was not what I expected...it was even better. This story was a little of everything...sweet, exciting, and sometimes sad but all of it came together in a beautiful way. I loved it!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2018I recieved an ARC and chose to review
I normally don't like books about mermaids or sirens. But this book blew me away with its rich world-building and hauntingly beautiful story. It was hard not to like and harder still not to get swept away in the horrors above and below land, and the sacrifices asked of Senra, the Siren Princess. The book was wonderfully done and well worth the read. The characters were so relatable in their anger, fear, and prejudices. But also, in their love for their families and people. Senra definitely has her work cut out for her as she tries to navigate a prophecy that's not as straightforward as she once believed. As well as, learning to open her heart up to people she had always considered her enemies. It was truly a great dystopian YA. I'm hoping there will be more stories to come from this world.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018I liked the characters but never really was invested in them. The story had a bit too much narrative for my tastes. Seemed like the whole first part was narrative. The dialogue didn't really have any depth to it but was ok. The story was an interesting one. Cover was beautiful and this was why I read it. Loved Long the sea dragon.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018I really enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow but picked up. I liked the Asian setting and the use of magic told in a believable way. I would love to know more about the other regions of the world mentioned in the book and feel these stories would be a good way to continue this as a series. There is definitely a lot about this world we do not know and the ocean being one of the greatest unknowns. The ideas the author presented about the ocean and an underwater civilization could just be a possibility. I highly recommend this book and commend the author for such a great telling of the story.
I was gifted an ARC of this book and am leaving an honest opinion of the book in my review.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018This book is different than you think it is. She’s a siren, but not the kind you are thinking of. And she’s on a mission that does not end up the way you or she thinks it will. It’s a sweet story of trust and understanding and learning to look outside of your own box ( or ocean, in this case). Nice, feel good story. Good for all ages.
