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.
