Now, Dylan needs to learn how to fit in this new world, and learn how to control her wonderful-yet frightful- abilities. But her strange dreams keep getting louder and louder: they plead for her help. Will Dylan be able to unravel this mystery and save those who call for her?

Raised by her father after her mother's mysterious disappearance, Elowyn's life has been defined by unanswered questions-about the ocean, her mother's love for it, and the strange silence surrounding her father's past. On her seventeenth birthday, everything changes. Her father vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a shimmering blue pendant that seems to pulse with the ocean's power. Thrust into the care of distant relatives on the fog-covered island of Innisfair, Elowyn feels the ocean's pull stronger than ever. A year later one fateful night, following that call, she steps into the waves-and discovers a hidden kingdom beneath the sea. There, Elowyn meets Aetherion Wavecrest, a mysterious and handsome figure. She soon gets swept into the kingdom and learns of its curse trapping the kingdom in eternal conflict. Could Elowyn be the one to break the endless curse? But to do so, she must embrace her magical heritage, confront the powerful curse cast by a jealous Abyssal King, and face the secrets surrounding her mother's disappearance. As Elowyn learns to wield her newfound powers, she finds herself torn between fear and duty.

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.

Unexpected (Editing)
-- COMPLETED AND EDITING -- Nicole Shipton c. 2013 Teenage Michaela was a simple girl with an everyday life living in sunny California, excited about her sixteenth birthday party; a chance to get away from her strict parents for just a few hours. The quick surf Michaela and her sister Jess went on before the guests were due to arrive was meant to relax her, but to say it did the opposite would be an understatement. That surf turned Michaela's life around. Within a week, she had sprouted a tail, along with her sister. Michaela's parents weren't much help, leaving her and Jess to sort through the mess alone. When their mother and father finally took them to their home in the ocean, the two girls were kidnapped. One of the last remaining sea witches, a malicious woman named Krella, brought Michaela, Jess, and two other merpeople to the small town of Rocksworth. There, they were forced to do unmentionable and traumatizing things. Michaela doesn't know if she'll ever return to the coral castle she so briefly saw her parents call home, and if she does, what kind of life might that be?
