The sea is a cruel mistress, as some may say. However, for the oldest family on Idir na Farraigí, the sea is not cruel at all - she is of them, and they are of her. Bronagh Ó Loinsigh, the last female child of the descendants of Muirín, Mother of the Island, has returned home to learn of her family's history after years of exile to the mainland. There, under the tutelage of her estranged, but loving, mother, Bronagh learns that she is not only the daughter of a sea-faring family but a daughter of the sea Herself.

A mysterious castaway. A Scottish hero determined to protect her. Can they survive the storm? Cast adrift on the Indian Ocean, Maria carries a terrible secret. Wherever she goes, death soon follows, and she's powerless to prevent it. William McGregor boarded the SS Trevessa in search of adventure, but he gets more than he bargained for when he saves the mysterious Maria from the sea. She can't tell them her tragic tale, so the superstitious sailors make up their own stories - and some would sacrifice her to the waves to save themselves from the coming storm. When the sharks start circling and the storm closes in, are sirens more than just a myth? A tiny taste of what's in store: My defiance was futile. What did it get me? A small raft drifting across the Indian Ocean, with nothing but the sound of waves and the smell of salt and coal-smoke. Smoke meant a ship. I was saved. I squinted into the sunlight, but the waves hid the vessel from me. Maybe I was looking the wrong way. I didn't have the strength to sit up and see. Rough hands seized me. I struggled, but my weakness won. Blue eyes drifted above, the same colour as the ocean below. A tangle of wiry seaweed obscured the rest of the man's face. "It's all right, lass. I'll take care of you." Darkness took me first. This book has been published and is available wherever you buy good ebooks.

Gifts Given By the Ocean can also be taken back. After the death of the Village Head, estranged cousins Mandeeq and Shermake reunite at their Grandfather's funeral where their fathers fight over who would be the Heir to the village. With tensions running high and the greed of Humanity leading only to ruin, Mermaids who had once bestowed gifts upon the Village people now revoke them by dragging the Village to the bottom of the Ocean. Being the only two left standing with the help of a Mermaid who is shunned by the underwater society, it's up to Mandeeq and Shermake to save their family and their village from themselves, and the mermaids who seek to take back their gifts.
