Prince Asta, from my NA romantasy, A SEA SO CRUEL, suffers from #OCD and is written by my #OwnVoice to bring more rep in the fantasy genre. She doesn't use magic to "fix" it or "cure" herself to save the day. It's just a part of who she is

I think this is my fav pitch of mine from #DVpit 🩵🩵

THE LITTLE MERMAID just got darker 🧜‍♂️

Princess Asta allies with Kaid, her sister’s irksome betrothed, to end a merfolk war before it comes ashore, discovering Kaid is the Lost Siren Prince. But can they avoid the pull they feel toward each other? 🩵

Missing villagers. A crowded orphanage. Her sister’s unwanted fiancé.

Princess Asta begrudgingly teams up with Kaid, her sister’s betrothed, to find her missing citizens, leading them to the sea, unaware of what creatures are lurking below... or that Kaid is one of them🧜‍♂️ #DVpit #F #NA #OCD #OWN #R
