Galia grew up on a whispered legend, her grandmother's encounter with a mermaid, a secret kept close as the shore. The tale painted her childhood with shimmering scales and the promise of magic in the waves. But time, like the tide, washes away belief. Now, the mermaid story feels like a distant dream. Yet, an inheritance arrives after her grandmother's passing, a pearl necklace, cool against her skin, each pearl holding a silent story. Her grandmother's last words echo in her mind, "When the time is right, someone will meet you." Is it just a coincidence that Galia finds herself drawn back to the sea, a place she thought she'd left behind? What secrets do the pearls hold, reflecting the light of the ocean's depths? And who awaits Galia, if anyone, in the realm where myth and reality intertwine? Will she find proof of her grandmother's tale, or discover something entirely new beneath the waves? The sea whispers, and the story is hers to uncover.

Book one of the Tideborne Saga
Magic isn't just a myth-it's real. The salt breeze carries whispers of something ancient, a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
Chrissy has always felt out of place-finding solace in the quiet corners of the local bookshop, where coffee warms hands and stories spark adventure. But then, a stranger asks her a simple question: Do you believe in magic?
The words linger, unsettling yet familiar, like something she's always known but never dared to say aloud. As she begins to search for answers, a world she never expected begins to unfold.
Meanwhile, beneath the waves, war brews. Mythical creatures-bound by fractured alliances-prepare for battle. While Chrissy and her friends sit around tables, dreaming of adventure, ancient forces stir, ready to pull her into a fate she never imagined.
She stands at the edge of something vast and untamed, caught between land and sea, truth and mystery. Some truths can't be ignored. Some destinies can't be escaped. Will she embrace the magic-or be lost to it forever?
