Tarabelle Johansson was once just a normal girl; but then she turned into a mermaid, then she became queen of the ocean, then was blessed to me a mother, and now? Now she was the latest discovery of the 21st century.
After washing up on shore when the Maverick stroke, Tara was found by the military and is now under constant surveillance by none other than Diana Rodriguez, a scientist.
Stuck in an aquarium unable to swim properly because of her paralyzed tail, the mermaid queen is now the talk of the world and many come see her at the small Shelly Fish Land Museum. Will anyone come save her before Diana and her team of mad scientists break the rules and take hold of her to cut her open to see what really lies underneath her mermaid skin? Or maybe someone unexpected will help set her free and remind her once again what it's like to fall in love.
Meanwhile undersea Taiven has returned; however his coming back was not celebrated and not at all joyful. The Maverick has destroyed much of what was left of the Upper Kingdom and more. Will he find the strength to go on when almost everything he holds dear has disappeared?
With the Upper Kingdom quickly falling into the the hands of the Deep and the Prophecy slowly proving itself true Taiven, Ridge, Gabrielle, Breena, Gregory, Alacreed and Danicio have no choice but to act fast. But is it possible to save Tarabelle, find the Lost Kingdom, defeat Auron and also erase all trace of mer-existence from the human world before it's too late?
In complete darkness, The doors will be found, Seven will enter, Two will turn around, One will die, Four will complete the journey, Two will return to the rightful place that they must be.
It all comes down to this; A Mermaid Tale At Ocean's End is the final installment of the Mermaid trilogy that will have you turning pages until the very end.
Tension between mermaids and humans had always been high, especially after the queen of the mermaids had been killed by humans, regardless that it was an accident. So many years later when Princess Muriel becomes curious about humans, she keeps it to herself.
Muriel lives in a castle with her father, sisters, and best friend, Percy. Some of her sisters blame her for their mother's death so Muriel avoids them when at all possible. She gains an interest in humans and trails after their ships. For humans, mermaids are bad luck so she knows that they won't attempt to harm her.
The first time Prince Philip steps foot on a fishing boat he witnesses the crew catch a mermaid. Although terrified, he moves forward to help untangle her as no one else is moving. He prays that she'll forgive him. Worry forms when she takes a lock of his hair. Was that a way of marking him? Regardless, he doesn't fight, not wanting to make it worse. Worry increases when she's spotted again.
Muriel begins to develop a crush on Prince Philip after he frees her from the net. When her sister's displeasure with her grows worse, Muriel seeks to avoid it. In a desperate attempt to do so she finds herself cave of the sea witch Minerva. Philip's kindness remains prominent in her mind when Minerva offers her a choice to be a human. Hesitantly she agrees, unaware of how different the human world from hers.
Philip's bodyguard begins to catch on that Muriel is different and Percy and the king quickly become desperate to find her.

Used to be called, "Mermaid Wish."
