Sela and the prince of the ocean, Kael, find intrigue in each other's worlds, and teach each other the ways of the land and the ocean.

And to top it all off, a storm is coming. A storm neither the people of the land nor the people of the sea are ready to face with an oncoming threat looming over their heads. Together, Sela and Kael must find a way to get their people to work together to face those who seek to destroy their ways of life. Will Sela and Kael find a way to be together?

21 parts Ongoing
Set in the same universe as H20: Just Add Water (events of Mako Mermaids did not happen), 4 highschoolers are doing a Biology Project on Mako Island. Not to keen of each other but still wanting to get the work done, they discover a cave with an oh so familiar Moonpool. As magic strikes, suddenly their lives take a 180° Turn. Their normal lives as they knew them? As gone as a dead fish in a stream. Will a shared secret bring these 4 together? Or will huge waves crash between them because of it? Note: I occasionally decide to re-edit older chapters a bit (mostly only little changes) so idk if it shows for readers, but if the release dates are all over the place this is why. And yes I try to avoid it as much as possible, but I can't help myself lmao
