The ocean can be gentle, lulling one into a false sense of security. But the waters are never calm in the Bermuda triangle, and when the waves pick up, one may be dragged under the sea. Kiara Vatelle's love of the ocean brings her to The Bahamas for her senior trip. It is her dream vacation - four weeks of sun, sand, and quality time with her sister. Only one thing can foil her vacation, and that is the ocean itself. The Bermuda Triangle hides a secret: mermaids and mermen. After swimming a little too far from the shore, Kiara finds herself in an ancient, undersea realm of mythical sea creatures. This new world is enchanting, and the mer-folk treat her like family, but are they just a little too eager for her to stay? From the ancient Kingdom of Oamer, to the hide-out of Pisces and Nereids, to a cursed Island and Tocona Isla, the odds seem to be against Kiara. Because even if she outwits those standing in her path, the seas always have their own plans. A tale of shady mermaids, astrological guardians, and a summer ocean adventure. ✧Second Draft ✧Cover by @_Foxicious ───｡ﾟ ♆ ﾟ｡─── ⚓︎ Featured | @talesofthedeep - Fintastic Reads ~ Sea Creatures ⚓︎ Featured | @mythandlegend - Atlantis and Legends on the Sea ⚓︎ Featured | @StoriesUndiscovered - November/ December 2020 ⚓︎ Finalist | @Fantasy Every Day in May contest 2019 ⚓︎ Honorable Mention | @PsychologicalNovel Reads Contest 2020

She's more lethal than she seems. An intoxicating beauty that entrances her seducers with the sweetest soprano's note, so sweet like honey. Honey that traps its prey. Though she's no angel she wishes for love a love too far away too far from reach . . . ~My poetry starts off angelic and sweet, but then turns bitter and dark.~ Side note: the darker poems are better 🖤 __________________________ {Highest Rankings: } #76 in poems 2018-12-7 #5 in sirens 2018-31-7 #33 in sea 2018-3-9 #1 in thesiren 2020-15-11 #1 in oceans 2021-21-5 #17 in sadpoems 2021-21-5 #39 in poetry 2021-21-5 Author: @Midnight_Phantom18 ©copyright 2020 Cover art by: @cool_reader_ ____________________________ What readers are saying: @taya_0 - im literally getting butterflies, your writing is that amazing !!! @August_Parker - I'm having difficulty in choosing which one is my favourite in this book CAUSE ALL THE POEMS ARE AWESOME @Szanuka - I have read it all so fast with such feelings...

They are based on a theme and you follow it perfectly. The use of literary devices in your poems never fails to astound me. Those metaphors, those repetitions, those whispers. I feel like your poems whisper and giggle in my ear, which is amazing because it is not very often that I like a poem.

[EDITING] Seileah, a young ground-spirit of the Great Morook Mountains, is the inspiration of all of her clan. She sees and interprets what nature can teach them, but when one day she sees the truth of her home, she knows her people will not understand. She must betray them with her star-seeded instincts. Glimmers of light frozen quick to a hare's breath by whispers of wind may yet sing some life to the Morook's red buds. She must use her own ethereal knowledge to imprint the ways of the forest on a lost human boy--who can neither see her nor hear her--to change his disastrous path or else destroy his whole homeland and vanish hers too.
