On the cusp of her sixteenth birthday, halfling-mermaid CARABELLA can’t wait to become a Nautaris—the most elite soldier in the cursed, sunken city of Sian, and finally break free to look for her human family.
Before she goes, she wants to give her best friend, the bereft Prince BARIS, the gift of experiencing the sacred Moonbeam Tree for himself. The only way she can sneak him in is to ‘borrow’ a ring from his sister, the cosseted Princess ASTA.
Asta is so over the trouble Carabella has created over the years after her latest stunt lands them all in hot water facing down a mythical monster.
With Baris fading from view, Carabella and Asta must choose between waiting for help or chasing after him on a perilous journey that could take them to the deepest reaches of the sea
Moonspirit is a fantastic beginning to a new series! Many fantasy stories get bogged down with world-building, but that definitely wasn’t the case in Carabella’s story. The author beautifully wove background information into the action of the plot, and I devoured every page! I eagerly anticipate book #2!
