Below the Surface

Rae has spent her entire life feeling out of place. Raised in the northeastern United States, the marine biology major has always felt an inexplicable pull toward the ocean and a persistent discomfort in her own skin. Now home for the summer, she’s about to discover why she’s never quite fit into the world above the waves.

Rae is a hidden mermaid heir, and her golden tail is unlike any seen in centuries. But a legacy this rare comes with dangerous consequences. Both the Pod of Neptune and the forces behind Triton’s rebellion have reason to target her, thrusting her into the center of a conflict she barely understands.

To survive, Rae must learn to control the extraordinary magical abilities awakening within her and uncover the truth behind her heritage. Her most urgent task is to release the ocean’s anchor before mermaid magic disappears forever. But as she navigates rival factions, ancient power, and a world she never knew existed, Rae begins to suspect that the conflict is far more complicated than it appears.

The fate of mermaid magic rests on her shoulders, but the greatest danger may be the truth hiding beneath the surface.
