Jemma always lived in the sea. She loved it, but yearned to feel the air on her face, blowing her dark blue hair around. But the elders forbid it. They say the humans that live on land, are vile and evil. She has always felt different like she also belongs in the human world. What secrets are the elders hiding? And why?
But what happens when Jemma saves a human girl and takes her up on land?
Elizabeth Taylor loves living on Occulta Secretorum, an island off the coast of Maine. But something is missing. She has always loved the sea. How the waves crash into the land. How beautiful the sea can be, and how beautiful it is when drawn or painted. She has always longed to go into the salty sea. To feel the water splash against her skin. To swim with an animal called a dolphin.
But the Council of Elders forbid it. They saw the true monsters are the mer-folk living in the ocean, ready to devour any unlucky human that falls into the depths of the sea.
But what happens when Elizabeth takes a tumble into the ocean?
With one race believing the humans are vile and dangerous and the other says the same thing about mer-folk, who are the real monsters?
And what secrets are the two groups of elders hiding?
Why can humans never touch the ocean water? And why can mer-folk never breathe the fresh air, above the salty sea?

Drowning Beneath The Waves
(Underwater Murder Series spin-off; Book 2 in the Family Ties Series) "Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don't know what's worse: drowning beneath the waves, or dying of thirst." At this point in her life, the above quote basically sums up Faye Mercer. After being diagnosed with depression two years ago, it's all she can do to keep a smile on her face, keep being positive and happy. The demons of her past have kept her beneath the waves for months now, hardly allowing her to breathe. From nightmares to insomnia, she can't seem to catch a break. Her reputation as a Siren has thrust her into a spotlight for which she wasn't prepared; to say nothing of her PTSD associated with said reputation. Her parents and brother are doing their best to carry on as normal as possible, but even they have tough days. If it wasn't for Waverly, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed. It all comes to a head one day when she receives a letter inviting her to a special 'for Sirens only' concert. She hasn't used her voice in years, hasn't even allowed herself to even entertain the thought. Will she be able to keep her head above water, or will she find herself flailing, drowning all over again? Read to find out.Complete

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.
