The sea and the sky shared water freely with one another until the sky began to hoard the water. Enraged and a little afraid of being destroyed by having no water, the sea lashed out at the sky. Where the sea wounded the sky, clouds formed. Where the sky struck the sea, islands formed. The sea created gods to fight its battles, and the gods created humans. Generations have passed since the sea and sky were last at war, but the peace is fragile. 

Anahera, a Nanupuni Islander, simply wants to fit in to the island's society despite being a woman and having a different appearance than everyone else. Her place in that society rests on her ability to find a mate and bear children. Anahera must overcome these barriers to unlock her true potential, maybe uncover a few secrets, and prevent war from destroying her home.All Rights Reserved

When the Ocean Calls by MusicalKehleigh

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
