20-year old Maria Ramirez and 21-year old Lucas Hannigan are prolific ocean explorers selected to explore the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep to discover more species of sea life. While down in the depths of Challenger Deep, they receive a distress signal like no other-

"Whoever's out there, please help! Ceto has been captured! Find the cave where the jellyfish gather!"

Rushing to help whoever is in trouble at this depth, they find the cave and charge inside- to find themselves in a whole new world. Diana, queen of the merpeople, desperately needs their help. Ceto, the goddess of sea monsters, was captured by the apex predators of her realm- a prehistoric mashup of a chilling variety of sea monsters- massive sea crocodiles, giant squids the size the Empire State Building, dinosaurs who should have gone extinct millions of years ago, and worst of all- the megalodon. The undersea realm of monsters has been thrown out of balance, and the apex predators control nearly every territory in the hidden world of water- except for the city of Aquaris, where Diana's people live deep inside a sea cliff. With an army of merpeople behind them, Maria, Lucas, and Diana must find a way to free Ceto and save her realm before the apex predators control everything- and before the humans run out of oxygen in their tanks.All Rights Reserved

Stealth Journeys with the Steam Mapper by steammapperjourneys

A 2019 Wattys entry deeply into climate change, global warming, and environmental destruction, especially the nuclear kind! A lot of true facts are embedded in this story which has both true and fictional characters. Who is to be believed is for you to decide. The chapters are many but many are short. Still, it is a full-sized novel with promise for future adventures. Plot: An international crew of scientists board a large state-of -the art oceanographic vessel privately funded by an anonymous source. The itinerary is to travel down the west coast of the Americas and travel the South Pacific to Antarctica. The team plans to visit many known sites of hydrothermal vents using a device called the MAPR, searching vents for a bacterium that seems promising in use as a way to fight carbon dioxide emissions. But one of the two junior scientists on the team soon realizes that secrets are being kept, and makes promises to keep some, while learning that some onboard have entirely different agendas. To complicate matters, this junior scientist's desire for a special friendship grows in intensity, just as mysterious murmurings and strange sightings intensify. And then, the ship experiences a sequence of events that will draw world attention and leave all of us with more questions than answers. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." "The Immense Journey" by Loren Eiseley "No other place, always this Your earthly landfall, and no ship exists To take you from yourself." By Lawrence Durrell

TIDAL WAVES by RiaForcados

For five hundred years, war has raged between humans and mermaids, a conflict born from betrayal and fueled by blood. The sea belongs to the mermaids-stronger, faster, and deadly in their element. The land belongs to humans-resilient, relentless, and armed with cultivation techniques that rival mermaid strength. But the balance is shattered by the Abyssal Reapers-ruthless hunters who steal mermaid soul pearls to consume their power. In a world torn apart by war, sixteen-year-old Nerissa has spent her entire life hidden away in a cave, raised by a strict and distant father who warned her of the dangers beyond. She knows nothing of the war, nothing of the world outside-only that she must never leave. But when her father vanishes, leaving behind a cryptic letter and a map, she has no choice but to step beyond the only home she has ever known. Alone, vulnerable, and utterly unprepared, Nerissa stumbles into a world where survival is not guaranteed. Taken in by a respected military family, she finds herself in a place she does not belong-surrounded by warriors, secrets, and a growing unease that she is not like them. As she struggles to understand the world around her, a truth buried in her very blood begins to surface. She is not human. She is not safe. And in a world where her kind is hunted, her existence alone is a death sentence. With the Abyssal Reapers lurking in the shadows and a past she does not remember coming for her, Nerissa must uncover the truth-before it destroys her first.

The mermaid's secret tale 🧜🏼‍♀️₊˚✧𑁍.ೃ࿔*:･🫧 / Aqualuna / Comiverse universe by C0MIstary_C012N

Rachel always knew she was different. By day, she was just another face in the crowded halls of Crestwood High-a quiet, bookish girl who kept her head down, aced her classes, and secretly crushed on Mike, the boy who made her heart race. But when the sun dipped below the horizon, everything changed. The moment moonlight touched her skin, Rachel transformed into a breathtaking mermaid with shimmering moonlight-purple scales, her legs vanishing into a powerful tail. She had spent her whole life hiding her secret. No one could know what she was-especially not Mike. If anyone discovered the truth, she could be captured, experimented on, or worse. But the ocean was calling her more than ever before. Strange things had begun happening in the waters near Crestwood. Whispers of a forgotten prophecy, a mermaid kingdom in danger, and a mysterious force rising from the depths haunted Rachel's dreams. Then, one night, Rachel witnesses something she wasn't supposed to see-a group of dangerous hunters searching for something... or someone. They spoke of an ancient relic lost beneath the waves, one that could grant ultimate power to whoever wielded it. And they were getting closer. Rachel must decide: continue living her double life in secrecy or embrace the ocean's call to protect her kind. But as she dives deeper into the mystery, she realizes she's not the only one keeping secrets. Because Mike? He's hiding something too... ~🧜‍♀️🫧⭐️🔱~

Species Unknown [Book 2: Pisces) by fantasynote

*MERMAN ROMANCE* Moving from the warm beaches of Oahu to the rocky shores of Monterey, California was supposed to be a fresh start for college graduate Leilani Ono. However, as she starts working for the esteemed genetics laboratory hidden along the chilly California coast, she realizes that her attempt at escaping her past has actually thrown her deep into a web of convoluted lies, mad scientists, and the horrors of human experimentation. ~*~ Gripped with panic, I turned away only to come face to face with the very thing I tried to run from. I gasped, stumbling back. Its face was shadowed, but I could still see the outline of its features. Illuminated by the reflection of the stars, I could see the sharp jawline and steely eyes that regarded me. A face that, even in the dark of night, was distinctly masculine. "Why are you here." A chilling voice seethed from the shadows. It was as cold as the night around us, with a slight hiss that was threatening enough to send my heart racing even faster. ~*~ #1 in EXPERIMENT #1 in MERPEOPLE #1 in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST #1 in OCEAN The second book in the Species Unknown series. Can easily be read as a stand-alone novel but I recommend reading Book 1: Aves first for more context. *COMPLETED*

The Blue Divide by Sonoria87

When Eko is kidnapped from his home in the deep Atlantic by members of an ancient cult, his only hope of returning to his life as a merman is the Heart of Poseidon, the source of his people's power, and the object the cultists want most. Following a grueling transformation into human form, Eko finds himself trapped in the small but dangerous town of Porthaven, Maine where he desperately searches for a way home. But the closer he gets to his goal, the more he finds himself drawn to his human savior, a kind human girl who helps him see the Upperworld and his new air-breathing body not as a prison, but as an opportunity for reinvention after the iron caste system of his old life. But even she is wrenched away when the cult leader discovers Eko's whereabouts and threatens everyone standing between him and the Heart of Poseidon. Forced to tap into a dark and lethal power in order to save the girl he's come to love, Eko uncovers ancient truths, and begins to suspect that the cult has motives poised to change both worlds forever. With consequences far worse than anyone could imagine.
