[COMPLETED] She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. She was ethereal and mystical and utterly impossible. Her mere existence challenged everything that he knew about the world. His mind screamed that she couldn't be real, yet here she was. When seventeen-year-old Liam Bainbridge sees something wrapped in a fishing net on a sandbar, his first thought is that some poor creature had been caught up by a fishing boat. Feeling the need to help, he jumps into action. It isn't until he releases it that he sees that everything isn't always as it appears. The fin doesn't belong to a dolphin or a seal, but a strangely beautiful girl and she's badly injured. Liam is soon pulled into an incredible mythical world he never imagined was real.

Description: Merliah Summers thought her greatest challenge was balancing life on land and under the sea. But when Nerissa's shadows rise higher than ever before, threatening to consume both worlds in darkness, Merliah must finally embrace the full truth of who she is. With her merillia magic growing stronger, strange new powers awaken on land-magic tied to life, balance, and healing itself. But power this great comes with choices, and Merliah will have to decide whether she's ready to bear the weight of two worlds. The final battle will test her courage, her heart, and her bond with both her friends and her family. When the tides calm, Merliah's destiny will be rewritten forever: her rainbow tail revealed, her crown earned, and her aunt Nerissa's dark reign finally ended. But victory won't come without sacrifice. To save both land and sea, Merliah will have to unleash the truest form of her magic - a power that could either heal everything... or consume her. 🌊✨👑 The ocean has chosen. The land has called. The heir must rise.

Merliah Summers thought she had balanced both worlds-surfing on the surface and fighting as Oceana's heir beneath the waves. But when Nerissa's magic begins to creep onto the land, shadows spill across the beach and storms churn where skies should be clear. For the first time, Merliah must face the truth: her powers are not confined to the ocean. With Hadley and Fallon by her side, and her grandfather finally learning the secrets of her heritage, Merliah struggles to control her Merillia magic on land before Nerissa destroys everything she loves. But the more Merliah taps into her powers, the harder it becomes to hold onto her human side. And if she loses it completely, she may never walk on land again. ✨ Two worlds collide. The battle for balance has only just begun. ✨

After unleashing a surge of uncontrollable Merillia magic that freed her friends and forced Nerissa to retreat, Merliah Summers stands at a dangerous crossroads. Her new power is unlike anything Oceana has ever seen-too raw, too untamed, and too powerful to ignore. But every spark of magic comes at a cost. Rumors spread across the ocean that the rightful heir of Oceana has awakened, and whispers begin to reach even the surface world. As Nerissa plots her next strike, Queen Calissa fears that Merliah's bond to both the ocean and the land may unravel the delicate balance of Merillia itself. Now, Merliah must face a terrifying truth: her magic is not only tied to the ocean's life force, but to the very currents of the land above as well. With Nerissa hunting for a way to claim Merliah's power as her own, and the ocean trembling under the strain of two forces colliding, Merliah must decide- Will she fight as a surfer, a princess, or something far greater?

The ocean is changing. Dark currents creep through Oceana, reefs wither, and creatures vanish into the deep. Merliah Summers has accepted her destiny as the princess of Oceana, but her greatest challenge is only beginning. Nerissa's power grows with each passing tide, and the ocean's life force trembles on the edge of collapse. With Zuma, Xylie, and Kayla by her side, Merliah must uncover Nerissa's plan before it's too late. But as the shadows spread and secrets unravel, Merliah will be forced to face the truth about her powers - and the terrifying cost of wielding them. The tide is rising. And this time, Merliah may have to risk more than the ocean to save both her worlds.

Merliah Summers barely escaped the pull of Nerissa's shadows. The ocean's life force continues to crack, spreading darkness through Oceana, and the corrupted Merillia threatens not only mermaids but the balance of the surface world as well. As Merliah learns that her own powers are tied more deeply to the Merillia than she ever imagined, dangerous truths come to light-truths her mother has kept hidden, even from her. But with Nerissa rising stronger, sea creatures disappearing, and even the surface world beginning to fracture under the ocean's pain, Merliah must decide how far she is willing to go. To protect both her worlds, she may have to sacrifice the very thing she loves most: her freedom as a human. The ocean is darkening. The choice is coming. And this time, Merliah may not escape untouched.

Merliah Summers thought her days of saving the ocean were over. After winning surf competitions and finally finding balance between her human and mermaid worlds, life felt... normal. Until the ocean changed. Strange tremors ripple through the tides, sea creatures vanish, and the Merillia-the life force of the ocean-begins to fracture. When Merliah's necklace calls her back to Oceana, she discovers a young mermaid mysteriously linked to the Merillia's fading power. Now, with both land and sea at risk, Merliah must uncover ancient secrets, face a rising threat beneath the waves, and protect a girl who may hold the ocean's future in her hands. The tides are breaking. The ocean is calling. And this time, Merliah may not return the same.
