Book 1
THE DEEP CAN BE DEADLY…BUT LOVE CAN BE DEADLIER
Nerissa Marin is far from home. Though she lives an anonymous life on land during her cycle of human study, she is Aquarathi royalty by birth—and the future monarch of a hidden, undersea kingdom. But when her father is murdered, the human world becomes her only refuge.
Adrift and indifferent, Riss indulges her every whim, including her feelings for the new surf king of Dover Prep, Lokeane Seavon. But as the day she comes of age looms closer, old enemies appear and challenges are issued: If she forsakes her throne, her people will suffer for it.
To win her crown, she must become the queen she was born to be.
Book 1.5
THE FIRST LAW OF THE AQUARATHI: STAY HIDDEN FROM HUMANS
Speio Marin desperately wants to return to his undersea home, but the Aquarathi queen-to-be, Nerissa, wants nothing to do with any of her people or her oceanic kingdom. Torn between his own desires and his sworn duty to his future queen, Speio spirals into despair.
But when he meets Anya Delmonico—an enigmatic girl trapped by a dark past—he is drawn to her despite his loathing for humans. Anya is unlike anyone he’s ever met, and when she finds herself in mortal danger, Speio will risk discovery and more to protect her.
Duty will topple to the greatest adversary of all…love.
Book 2
THE OCEANS WILL RISE…AND SECRETS WILL BE REVEALED
Nerissa Marin has reclaimed her birthright and assumed the mantle of queen of Waterfell, but all is not calm beneath the ocean’s surface. As signs of unrest emerge, a missive arrives that her royal consort, Lokeane Seavon, has been poisoned with a deadly biotoxin.
Riss has no choice but to go landside. Leaving her undersea throne in the hands of unknown enemies is a risk, but Lo’s survival is her only concern. Her courage will be challenged, trusted allies will become enemies, and her heart will face its greatest trial.
To defend her throne and save her prince, a warrior queen must rise.
