When the dreams began, they were only girls, six young mermaids still
coming to terms with their magical powers. But the voice each of them heard
was destiny urging them toward a shared fate they never could have
imagined: saving their underwater civilization from the same evil force that
sank Atlantis, their ancestral terra firma, into the sea.
In Deep Blue, the first novel in the WaterFire Saga, the mermaids learn from
a powerful river witchthe voice in their dreamsthat they are direct
descendants of the ancient Circle of Six, powerful rulers who governed six
undersea realms spawned by the sunken empire. Heiresses to the unique
magical powers of the Six, only the mermaids can defeat the evil that
threatens their realms once again. To do so, theyll have to work together to
find talismans that belonged to the Six, each one hidden in the deadliest
corners of their world. Have the treacherous paths and tribulations that
brought them together prepared the mermaids for what awaits? One by one,
as the novel closes, they forge ahead to meet their destinies.
In Rogue Wave, their fated journeys begin with Serafina, descended from
the leader of the Six who ruled over the Mediterraneanloyal, brave, just and
strong, and with a deep well of powerful magic. She believes her talisman is
buried in an old shipwreck, and while researching its location is almost
discovered by a death rider patrol led by someone familiar. The pain of seeing
him turned traitor is devastatingbut nothing will stop her from completing
her quest. Ling, from the shores of the Qin in China and able to speak the
languages of all living creatures, helps Serafina out of some deadly scrapes
en route to her own talisman. And Neela, kind, good-hearted, clever, and a
master of light, returns to the Indian Ocean to warn her parents of the grave
threat facing their world--only to be confined to her chambers for rest and
recovery. She escapes and tracks her talisman, which is in the possession of
Razormouth dragons. Along the way, a series of betrayals and surprises leave
the mermaids wondering who to trust and where to turn. But they always
have each other. As they hunt for their talismans, they find reserves of
courage, cunning, and friendship they didnt know they possessed.
The story continues in Dark Tide (Disney/Hyperion; ISBN 978-1-4231-82016; October 13, 2015; $17.99 US, $18.99 CAN), where once a lost and
confused princess, Serafina is now a confident leader of the Black Fin
Resistance (BFR). While she works on sabotaging her enemy and enlisting
allies for battle, her friends face challenges of their own. Ling is in the hold of
Rafe Mfeme's giant trawler, on her way to a prison camp. Becca meets up
with Astrid and learns why the Ondalinian mermaid is always so angry: she is
hiding a shameful secret. Ava can't return home, because death riders await
her arrival. And it is getting more and more difficult for Mahdi, Serafina's
betrothed, to keep up the ruse that he is in love with Lucia Volerno. If Lucia's
parents become suspicious, his life--and all of Sera's hopes--will be
extinguished. Political intrigue, dangerous liaisons, and spine-tingling
suspense swirl like a maelstrom in this penultimate book in the WaterFire
saga.
