Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lords of the Abyss series about?
Two thousand years. One sunken city. Six mermen with nothing left to lose. The lost city of Atlantes lies miles below the surface, cursed and immortal, ruled by mermen shifters who were abandoned by the gods and forgotten by history, until they start rescuing surface-world women from the dangers that almost killed them. Six books of merman shifter paranormal romance, each one a different lord of the deep claiming the human bride who never expected to wake up in a kingdom under the sea. Fated mates, alpha mermen, forced proximity, rescue romance, captive heroine, sunken city, vengeful mermaids, and one literal king of the ocean.
What’s the reading order?
Best read in publication order, starting with The Mighty Hunter. Each book delivers a complete happily ever after, so you can start anywhere, but the brotherhood arc, the curse mechanics, and the deepening politics of Atlantes land hardest when read in sequence through to The Merman King.
Is Lords of the Abyss complete or ongoing?
Complete. Six books, all published, no cliffhangers, every merman lord matched and every heroine resolved.
What’s the heat level?
Spicy. Open-door love scenes between immortal merman shifters and the surface-world women they refuse to let drown.
Who is the audiobook narrator?
Rebecca Cook narrates the Lords of the Abyss series. Over the last several years she has worked on more than 20 feature films, multiple commercial productions, and all 5 seasons of SyFy Channel’s Z Nation, and she also directs award-winning short films through her own company, Thundering Kitten Productions. Fun fact: while working on Z Nation, Rebecca got Michelle a cameo as an apocalyptic refugee.
Where can I find Lords of the Abyss?
Available wide at Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Nook, Google Play, Bookshop, the Michelle Pillow Bookstore, Walmart, Indigo, Storytel, Audible, and libraries. Ask your local library for ebook and audio access.
If readers love Lords of the Abyss, what other Michelle M. Pillow books should they try?
If you love the immortal-kingdom worldbuilding and rescue-romance heat of Lords of the Abyss, the Realm Immortal trilogy delivers the same trapped-immortal-meets-mortal-heroine intensity in dark fantasy, and Tribes of the Vampire goes gothic with ancient bloodlines. For more alpha shifter heat with sci-fi paranormal worldbuilding, the Qurilixen World universe (Dragon Lords, Lords of the Var, and six more series) is the natural binge-next.
What tropes does Lords of the Abyss include?
Merman shifter romance, paranormal romantasy, fated mates, alpha mermen, immortal heroes, sunken city, 2,000-year curse, vengeful mermaids, rescue romance, captive heroine, forced proximity, surface-world-meets-deep-sea, king of the ocean, and an ancient brotherhood pulled into the light by their mortal mates.
