There is more to the ocean than meets the eye.

It should have been an ordinary summer in Neo Marmaras for Hristos and his brother, Aleksandros—a summer full of reading, romance, and underwater diving. But when a mysterious figure appears to Hristos on one of his dives and tells him he’s the only human who can save his city from unspeakable tragedy, Hristos’ entire world is flipped upside down.

As a mermaid, Colla has been told to avoid humans at all costs. She’s grown up hearing stories of Persho and Meroe, two merpeople whose lives were destroyed by greedy humans and dark magic. But the call of adventure is too strong to ignore, and when Colla ventures too far, she finds herself embroiled in the curse of the Blue Waters—the very curse that ruined Persho and Meroe centuries ago.

If a mermaid and human cannot fall in love and set the Blue Waters free of their curse, Neo Marmaras and its inhabitants will be destroyed. It’s up to Colla and Hristos, with the help of Aleksandros and his girlfriend Cassandra, to save their city and everyone they hold dear. But the curse of the waters holds more lies than truths, and love may not be enough to save them.

Perfect for fans of Salt and Stone, The Waterfire Saga, and The Chronicles of Chaos.
