My Dear Reader,
Mermaid legends exist in most cultures all over the world. Some of these legends are not unlike cautionary morality plays. Many of these myths are romantic, beautiful, fantastical things. This story is neither of those. Based on the legends from Orkney and Norway, this tale (tail, ha!) is of a darker kind. More danger, less dinglehoppers. Still, for all this, it is- I insist- a love story. I hope you enjoy it!
Yours with gratitude,
Lily

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.

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.
