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.

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.

Stone and Suspicion: The Tale of Attina
It seems like all anybody in Atlantica can talk about is when Princess Attina is going to settle down and get married like her youngest sister, Ariel. But all she can think about is when her father King Triton is going to swim down from the throne and let her be the leader she's been wanting to be all her life. Worse than that, when a visiting royal family unveils a potential scandal involving the late Queen Athena, Attina has to work with infuriating and reef-smart rebel Tuvaik to investigate her mother's past and save the reputation of her entire family. Hopefully they don't turn too many heads of the undersea social elite along the way, because that is the last thing she needs right now, thank you very much--even if he's beginning to make her think more and more about what she wants.

Unlike him, she stayed well away from the water's edge and out of its grasp, immersed in the sorrow of her loss. But what little the ocean did give back, a man of myth with the tail of a fish, could reveal more about the secrets to a harrowing conspiracy brewing below the surface.Complete
