In this exciting sequel to DEEP BLUE, the mermaids are on an exceedingly important and dangerous quest. Their journey is testing their skills and their friendships, forcing them to grow and take on new challenges, and will alter their lives forever.
Serafina,
Neela, Ling, Ava, Becca, and Astrid, six mermaids from realms scattered
throughout the seas and freshwaters, were summoned by the leader of the
river witches to learn an incredible truth: the mermaids are direct
descendants of the Six Who Ruled–powerful mages who once governed the
lost empire of Atlantis. The ancient evil that destroyed Atlantis is
stirring again, and only the mermaids can defeat it. To do so, they need
to find magical talismans that belonged to the Six.
Serafina
believes her talisman was buried with an old shipwreck. While
researching its location, she is almost discovered by a death rider
patrol led by someone familiar. . . . The pain of seeing him turned
traitor is devastating.
Neela
travels to Matali to warn her parents of the grave threat facing their
world. But they find her story outlandish; a sign that she needs to be
confined to her chamber for rest and recovery. She escapes and travels
to Kandina, where her talisman is in the possession of fearsome
razormouth dragons.
About Deep Blue:
Deep in the ocean,
in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their
communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all
over the globe.
When
Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of
her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome
Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that
foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are
confirmed when an assassin’s arrow poisons Sera's mother. Now, Serafina
must embark on a quest to find the assassin’s master and prevent a war
between the Mer nations.
