Ademen , scherp zien en verstaanbaar zijn klinkt erg normaal. Maar niet als je dat onderwater kan. Elise geloofde er niet in. Totdat ze in het water valt en bijna verdrinkt. Ze redt het omdat ze ademde terwijl ze diep onder water was. Dat moment veranderd haar leven. Hoe nu verder? Aan wie vertelt ze wat er gebeurt is?

Глубоко под водой существует целый мир, очень похожий на наш, где моря и реки - это королевства, а жители в них - русалки. Юная Серафина - наследная принцесса трона Миромары, империи, охватывающей несколько морей. Ей предстоит пройти важную церемонию, на которой она споёт особое заклинание и докажет, что достойна возложенной на неё чести. Но судьба юной русалки навсегда навсегда изменилась а тот миг, когда на дворец напали неизвестные, тяжело ранили королеву-мать Серафины, убили отца, а саму её превратили в скиталицу. Теперь принцессе, таясь от наёмников, наводнивших моря, предстоит отправиться в опасное плавание, чтобы не только узнать, кто стоит за трагедией, разыгравшейся в Миромаре, но и разгадать секрет древнего пророчества, что являлось ей во снах. Ведь, согласно пророчеству, Серафина должна разыскать пять, обладающих особыми силами русалок и с их помощью остановить уничтожение всего подводного мира...

В связи с поступлением, эта история заморожена почти на все лето. С чего начинается океан? С влажного песка. С обточенной гальки. С брызгов и детского смеха. С солёной воды в глазах. С катеров и нефтяных вышек. Ежегодно тысячи судов пересекают моря. Казалось бы, человечество уже давно изведало глубины океанов. Но что, если тайны ещё остались? Что, если сведения о других разумных существах скрывают от нас? Селина Найт, не подозревая ни о чем, влезла в опасное дело, которое полностью изменило ее жизнь. Новые знакомые, тайны, друзья и предатели, народ и правители, страсть и хладнокровие. Ещё и этот необычный взгляд преследует постоянно. Кажется, со всем можно ужиться... Вот только, что делать со своим новым даром? А, может, проклятьем? Как бы то ни было, вернуться назад и забыть все не получится, ведь она - часть другого мира.

История заняла первое место в конкурсе «Морские басни» от FantasyRu. Что бы вы сделали, если проснулись, не помня ни себя, ни откуда вы и, вообще, какого чёрта делаете в открытом море в одинокой шлюпке с одной лишь бутылкой воды? Верно, тут особо не подумаешь, но девушка, оказавшись в этой ситуации, постаралась рассуждать трезво и первое, с чем ей пришлось столкнуться был всепоглощающий страх и паника. К сожалению, второе оказалось намного страшнее.

Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing. But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore.
