Two kingdoms are on a collision course in this Romeo and Juliet story. In an ongoing battle centered on truth vs. lies and good intentions vs. evil ones, personal and community rights become threatened. At first the threats seem to be merely verbal, until violence makes it clear that survival is at stake for both Heath’s and Merletta’s communities.
“Be careful.” Repeated good advice!
True to today’s story-telling patterns, a teenaged mermaid carries the burden of saving her kingdom while mermen hold the power, the knowledge and the strength to either oppose or empower her.
Enter the dragons and their dragonfriends who are embroiled in their own crisis in the world of humans. As Heath develops his farsight with his dragon partner, Reka, he cannot stop watching his beloved Merletta, the courageous underdog of the mermaid world, longing for them to be together.
The author has knit together a rich story of cultures, beliefs, friendships and trauma in the midst of a growing romance.
