OCEANSONG is an Adult Contemporary Romantasy that is an Asian Romeo & Juliet meets The Little Mermaid, set in the grittiness of the real world.

Fish are mysteriously disappearing, starving the people in Angie Song’s Alaskan hometown. Angie, an aspiring marine biologist and dock worker, enthusiastically joins the hunt to find out where the fish are gathering.

  • “Against the stunning backdrop of the Alaskan landscape, C.W. Rose paints a tale of romance persevering despite impossible odds, weaving in Asian culture, real world environmental issues, and the senseless brutality of bigotry and war.”

    Desirée M. Niccoli, Author of the Haven Cove series

  • "An enchanting read that is perfect to enjoy on a sunny day, preferably at the beach. OCEANSONG is a magical story filled with strong familial ties, merfolk, and steamy romance in frigid waters. This contemporary fantasy is one you won’t be able to put down!”

    Melissa Karibian, author of the A Song of Silver and Gold duology

  • “Oceansong by C.W. Rose is a uniquely gritty modern fairytale so beautifully written that you can practically smell the sea breeze from the pages. If you find yourself daydreaming about what it would be like to live deep in the sea you’re in for a magical treat. Kaden and Angie’s star-crossed story is wrought with the excitement of first love as they navigate the consequences of falling in love during a tumultuous war between Mer and humans.”

    Mariet Kay, author of Born of Starlight

  • “A poignant and delightful debut about unexpected love, community, and the importance of compassion for the earth and all of its creatures. An atmospheric and compellingly modern take on Romeo and Juliet, with two soulmates from entirely different worlds who find common ground in their mutual love for their families and the sea.”

    Paulette Kennedy, bestselling author of The Witch of Tin Mountain

  • “Take the plunge into the mesmerizing depths of “Oceansong” by C.W. Rose, a tale where forbidden love and perilous adventure intertwine. With razor-sharp wit, heart-pounding twists, and characters that will leave an indelible mark on your heart, “Oceansong” promises an unforgettable journey that will keep you on edge from the first splash.”

    Chantal Gadoury, Author of Until The Last Page

  • “A story for everyone who’s ever gazed out upon the ocean…and wondered who may gaze back. Readers are compelled not only by Angie and Kaden’s forbidden love, but by greater themes of ecofeminism, greed, and motherloss. The escalation of both a secret romance and polarized violence makes this book a page turner.”
