******WATTPAD FEATURED: HIDDEN GEM ****** Nineteen-year-old Tristaine lived a life of bitterness. When her mother abandoned her family, and her father began drinking, Tris discovered the only thing that truly brought her happiness: the sea. It called to her like a lover and flowed through her like a life force. When her only peace is threatened to be taken away, Tris realizes there is nothing she wouldn't do to remain with the ocean. Even if it means taking her own life to do so. But the sea isn't done with her -not yet- and Tris soon finds herself submerged in a world where love, betrayal, and honor stand stronger than any other force of nature. ---------- A collaboration with @druidrose ---------- Highest Ranking: #78 in Fantasy (09.04.17) Wattpad Picks - Hidden Gem: Fantasy (11.20.17) Cover by Shayne Leighton ©2016-2020 Meri Kurage & M.

Rodrigo is used to his best friend, Oliver, getting him into trouble every once in a while but never had he imagined that one of his craziest ideas would take them to the Kingdom of Karinthia, a magical world where each person has a different power. Although Oliver loves adventure, he soon realises the danger they are in: the entirety of Karinthia is subject to the tyrannical power of Emperor Arakaz and children are obliged to appear before him at twelve years old to swear their loyalty. Luckily, the boys soon find refuge in Garador Fortress where they join a secret order of knights who fight against the cruelty of the emperor. What they hadn't imagined is that one of them is destined to play a key role in this fight.
