It's been 14 years since Pearl and Pale have been teenagers. But now it's time to hear from someone completely new, 14 years in the future. Ash Melendez lived a normal life with his dad, Brian. He never knew much about his mom until he started changing. Soon Ash is thrown into a life of mermaids and he finds himself uncovering family secrets he never thought possible. (Fourth book in Pearl and Pale series. Kind of a spinoff. Can be read alone.)
