The ocean can be gentle, lulling one into a false sense of security. But the waters are never calm in the Bermuda triangle, and when the waves pick up, one may be dragged under the sea. 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. Only one thing can foil her vacation, and that is the ocean itself. The Bermuda Triangle hides a secret: mermaids and mermen. 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. A tale of shady mermaids, astrological guardians, and a summer ocean adventure. ✧Second Draft ✧Cover by @_Foxicious ───｡ﾟ ♆ ﾟ｡─── ⚓︎ Featured | @talesofthedeep - Fintastic Reads ~ Sea Creatures ⚓︎ Featured | @mythandlegend - Atlantis and Legends on the Sea ⚓︎ Featured | @StoriesUndiscovered - November/ December 2020 ⚓︎ Finalist | @Fantasy Every Day in May contest 2019 ⚓︎ Honorable Mention | @PsychologicalNovel Reads Contest 2020

Secrets of a Hawaiian Mermaid

Anela Fuller has always been a little different and a little weird. Found as a toddler alone and unconscious on the lava fields of Maui with no memory as to who she was, strange occurrences have always followed her: hearing people's thoughts and manipulating their actions, moving objects without touching them, and hearing voices from an ocean that terrifies her. The only clue she has about her identity is a broken bronze medallion that has so far refused to give up its secrets. Adopted by the hospital nurse who cared for her gave her, she grew up with the semblance of a normal life even if the school bully and her own resentful adoptive sister never let her forget that she wasn't. The day Anela left for school on the mainland was the happiest day of her life. Now 34, Anela has returned home to Lahaina for her mother's funeral. The second her plane touched down at Kahului airport all her strange abilities that had been dormant came roaring back with a vengeance. Her sister blames Anela for the great tragedy in her life, and her young niece suspects Anela may be more than just her auntie. Anela can't wait to leave Maui behind for good. That's when a mysterious young man shows up at her doorstep with the missing piece to her medallion and the answer to all of her life's questions: she is a mermaid. The idea that Anela is a sea creature straight out of ancient mythology seems ludicrous to her until an accident at sea reveals her mermaid tail for the very first time. Knowing the truth isn't the same as gaining comfort from that knowledge, especially when that knowledge conflicts with her human upbringing. As she struggles to understand her aquatic heritage and master her abilities under the young man's frustrating tutelage, dark forces rise from the ocean depths intent on shaping Anela's future for themselves and obtaining her now-reunited medallion that could give them dominance over the entire world and not just its oceans.
