Felicity O'Connor is not your typical seventeen year old teenager in the small city of Lakewood she's half mermaid, but doesn't know it yet. A secret her father has kept hidden from her since she was born.

One day Felicity stumbles upon a magical puddle and takes the plunge. Discovering Atlantis, having a tail instead of legs and realizing that merpeople are not the myths she thought they were are the least of her troubles. Merpeople both fear and hate humans and if Felicity's human identity is found out she is to be executed.

So having a crush on the king's right hand man, Jeremy Sea and being friends with the prince of Atlantis is probably not the best way to go about being unnoticed.

So why can't Felicity grasp the enormity of her situation.

Maybe meeting the prince, going on a dragon ride, becoming a dolphin rider, fighting sharks and swordfish, killing the Kraken and owning the most powerful sword in the sea has her a little distracted.

Trying to live two separate lives is no easy feat while going back from Lakewood to Atlantis her web of lies is growing and it will only be a matter of time before she gets caught as she struggles to decide what life she wants to live. Risk losing the only family she's ever known on land for a life of adventure and magic in the sea is something no seventeen year old should have to decide.

There isn't even a word for what Caydo is. At seventeen, he only knows that he is different. If Caydo manages to restore the magic that allowed his kind to breathe underwater, they could live free of the humans, but he would be trapped with the merpeople, who will never accept his sexuality. Attracted to a devious human from the surface, Caydo must navigate a new world of card games and vices, which could bring more trouble, instead of the romance and the refuge he craves. At fifteen, Caydo's younger sister, Sarzana, must choose either to stay a mermaid or to become a human, as it is illegal to bend after she turns sixteen. Unbeknownst to her family and friends, she has already chosen a human life designing buildings, which goes against the merpeople's goddess. The surface might not be welcoming to a mermaid, but the humans have the answer to what happened to her father in the attacks ten years ago.
