A modern Cinderella story... under the sea.
Down in the depths of the Pacific, 19-year-old aspiring artist Ella Bentik couldn't care less about fashion, makeup and parties like her older sisters. All that matters is achieving her dream and getting out of this dump. Then she unknowingly befriends the very party host her sisters are always raving about: Genesis Marmoris, a young celebrity with a reputation for being crazy and aloof. Between Genesis' far-fetched conspiracy theories, Ella's inexplicable recurring nightmares, and both of their connections to the land, Ella realizes that there may be more to their relationship than she thought. She begins to question what her true purpose is... and if it's possible to have more than just one.

fated abyss
The sea and the land were never meant to mix. Generations ago, the two worlds were split in half: The sea belonged to the sea folk, and the land belonged to the surface dwellers. Now, with a long-standing resolution in place, they exist side by side, but never as one. It is law. It is tradition. But sixteen-year-old Risa Moriyama has never been one to follow the rules. Drawn to the ocean with a longing she can't explain, she dreams of the world beneath the surface. Of Sea People, of freedom, of a life beyond the one chosen for her. When the tide of change reaches her own life, Risa is left questioning: can she chase the life she craves, or must she surrender to the fate she's originally been given?
The Jellyfish Messenger
What lurks within the abyss? Deep beneath Earth's expansive oceans, there exists a race of people unbeknownst to most humans, who live in an underwater realm all their own- the Seafolk. An ancient evolutionary offshoot of human beings, these mysterious entities dwell in the remote depths of the sea, their forms taking after an array of sea creatures to create a society of waterbound humanoids perfectly adapted to their environment. Loosely structured kingdoms of Seafolk exist throughout the world, and one of these is the domain of Princess Tamayori, the oarfish folk ruler of the Sea of Japan. Set to marry Prince Stellaris of the Antarctic Ocean to unite the two distant kingdoms, the message of her betrothal falls into the hands of Kurage, a jellyfish folk who serves the princess as one of her many loyal messengers. Determined to faithfully serve her beloved master, Kurage embarks on a dangerous journey into the open sea alongside Chrystal, a fellow jellyfish messenger who isn't pleased about her job being assigned to someone else. The two messengers must put aside their differences and work together to survive the perils of the great ocean, realizing that the world is far bigger and more unfathomable than they could have ever imagined. As the treacharous trip continues, they also soon discover that the royals of the Seafolk, including Princess Tamayori, are not as noble as they seem...Complete
