Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. There's one rule shared between the island's tribes: don't touch the water. When Cressa-la breaks this law, her world, and body, changes. Sure, change is normal... but when has growing scales ever been normal? • • • Watty Award Winner 2015: Best Use of Visuals • • • Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. Among the spared, magic chooses a rare few, connecting them to the moon or sea. These are the One-Hundreds, mermaids and humans with the power to save the world-or corrupt it. When Cressa-la breaks the first rule of her tribe and touches the water surrounding her island, everything she knows turns on its head. Talking, sinister dolphins, mind control, and a whole world just under the waves await her on her eigteenth birthday... but she never asked for any of this. All she wanted was to become a Tribe Leader and take care of her village. It's amazing how one screw-up can change everything. A relentless darkness reaches for her, wanting her affections for his own twisted purposes. In opposition stands a fractured light, haunted by a painful past where corruption eroded friendship. Unless Cressa-la can bring the darkness to his knees and fight the war raging inside, the world is doomed. • • • Content warning: This story contains themes of depression and violence.

Sarah Allen is an ordinary teenager with a simple life of sitcoms and romance novels until one night she gets a text from her bad-boy crush, Dave Rodriguez. Apparently, Dave has mistaken the cell number of head cheerleader Caroline Roberts with Sarah's. Desperate and craving to converse with the supposed Romeo of her life; and also knowing she would never get a chance otherwise, Sarah does the stupidest, dumbest, craziest, whackiest thing a girl can do (and regrets it almost instantaneously). She texts him back, pretending to be Caroline. This goes on for days. Months. Something that started out as an embarrassing mistake grows into much more than Sarah could have imagined. They text till midnight, talking about their favourite authours, constellations and mullet rock. Never did Sarah expect their tastes in music and coffee flavours to match, let alone Dave falling in love with her. Should she tell him the truth? Dave might never forgive her, but worse, he might not be the only one in love... // Highest Ranking: #9 in Teen Fiction [25/02/17] // // Winner of the Teen Fiction Awards 2017 //
