Sapphire and Pearl are two normal teenage girls. Well, sort of. They are identical twins, look freakishly alike, and secretly have powers that they are not aware of. Starting high school, they have an amazing group of friends that they made in middle school. There's Tamora, their almost-triplet, and the rest of the squad. At a sleepover, three of the girls unknowingly do a spell, with catastrophic results. What they don't know, though, is that they are all not only mermaids, but mermaid ROYALTY. The picture worsens when two twin guys enter the picture. Will Sapphire, Pearl, and Tamora be able to survive high school?
Think you know mermaids?
Think again.
