Mermaids have teeth sharper than any shark, and a voice that will split your skull. PASH and ELANA know this because they've found one.
Pash is a dutiful son, spending his days hauling fish on his family's ship. He hates everything about the islands, from the food to the people. Except for Elana Rose, his best friend. His family returns early from their summer fishing to the island where she lives, and he thinks it means more time with her. Unfortunately, the newly elected mayor has his eyes on Elana, and trouble always comes in threes.
Elana wants nothing more than to get through her chores and get one day closer to her birthday. After the mayor's daughter drowns in a flash flood, Pash has the insane idea to teach a reluctant Elana to swim. It’s a pity she floats like a rock. A dead calm makes him late for their second lesson, and she finds a strange, mute girl at their swimming hole. She's not blind to Pash's bigotry, so she keeps the girl a secret, sneaking her food when she can. The fight they have when he catches her shakes the foundation of their friendship, possibly forever.
With mermaid hunters docked in the harbor, and the mayor losing his mind, the pair must decide if secrets are going to tear them apart, or if they are willing to risk banishment to protect each other and get the mermaid to safety.
WATERBORN is a 125,000 word fantasy with series potential set on a world of seas and islands.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
