Ruoxi, Princess of the Pacific, has better things to do than battle her siblings for the throne. Her best friend, a dolphin, is missing. She finds a clue in the balmy city of San Diego but investigating requires legs, and Ruoxi has, well, flippers. Gaining feet requires a great deal of magic, and taking abalone dust, a powerful substance that becomes toxic over time, but Ruoxi has to chance it. Her best friend is counting on her.
Bishop is tired of getting the run around from the San Diego military base. There's no way his brother drowned in an accident. It's a good thing he's a reporter because digging for the truth is his forte. What he doesn't count on is the clumsy woman he rescues at the beach. Homeless and possibly a drug addict--she can't even walk properly--he helps her out only to discover they're after the same thing: answers.
However, with soldiers blocking their every move and a mysterious government agent in the mix, it's not that simple. It will take a relentless reporter and a clever mermaid to uncover these secrets, but can they do it in time to save Ruoxi's best friend and possibly herself? Because with every passing day, Ruoxi grows more and more dependent on abalone dust. And you know the saying, a mermaid addicted to abalone eventually goes belly up...

The Blue Divide
When Eko is kidnapped from his home in the deep Atlantic by members of an ancient cult, his only hope of returning to his life as a merman is the Heart of Poseidon, the source of his people's power, and the object the cultists want most. Following a grueling transformation into human form, Eko finds himself trapped in the small but dangerous town of Porthaven, Maine where he desperately searches for a way home. But the closer he gets to his goal, the more he finds himself drawn to his human savior, a kind human girl who helps him see the Upperworld and his new air-breathing body not as a prison, but as an opportunity for reinvention after the iron caste system of his old life. But even she is wrenched away when the cult leader discovers Eko's whereabouts and threatens everyone standing between him and the Heart of Poseidon. Forced to tap into a dark and lethal power in order to save the girl he's come to love, Eko uncovers ancient truths, and begins to suspect that the cult has motives poised to change both worlds forever.
