Melody was born into a normal world as a normal person, or so she thought! She had always believed their was more to the world than just humans and often found evidence to prove that too. She would see silohuettes sitting on rocks in the ocean or scales would wash up on the shore. Her guardian would tell her stories of mermaids and a beautiful kindgom ravished by a power hungry and violent king, stories that bared a child who had the same name as she did. Would everything eventually fall into place and will Melody find out the truth about those stories?

Hidden gem — exposure is the bottleneck
Readers who find this story follow it at a high rate; there just aren't enough of them. In our cohort data, near-daily posting lifted the odds of reaching 25 followers from ~0% to 17% — more chapters, shoutout swaps and ads buy the eyeballs this conversion deserves.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 5–9 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
