Healers

Born into chains on a Carolina plantation, Melorae a secret name whispered by her mother - a name the world was never meant to know. When violence shatters her life, the forbidden river answers, pulling her into a realm where grief becomes power and the water itself remembers. From the depths rise the Healers: mermaids born of blood and memory, guardians of ancestral voices, and goddesses who claim their children back from the sea. As Melorae learns to breathe beneath the waves, she discovers that survival is more than endurance - it is transformation. Blending African cosmology with the brutal history of enslavement, Healers is a haunting, lyrical tale of mothers and daughters, of vengeance and rebirth, of what it means to be claimed by the water... and to rise from it changed forever.
