[Major Editing Coming Soon] A rising tension. A waning moon. Shady, skeptical beings. An underwater dynasty, crumbling at the fists of rebelling forces. Nestling just off the rocky, tourist-swamped coasts of Guadeloupe lies an aquatic, mythological world, know to the ill-fated that reside there as Miraja. For seven years it has kept quiet, isolated and out of human reach. Until one sticky, summer night, when restless Lanakila Maurs and a hurricane unknowingly fall prey to magic lurking beneath the surface. As much as she likes to persuade herself into thinking otherwise, Lana still hasn't moved past her mother's unexplainable disappearance seven years ago. However, a newfound tail, a cunning cast of characters, and a perplexing Spell tattooed on her arm just might do the trick- that is, if the world under Guadeloupe isn't but a dream. ⓒ Copyright 2015.

Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now, she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Ninety-Five- all medically and legally judged as perfect. Entering this new life Hannah has an impossible decision to make which puts not only hers, but the lives of everyone she cares about at great risk.
