A Jersey Shore lifeguard. An immortal mermaid. An apocalypse churning beneath the waves.
Jonah Whitmore, a lifeguard at the Jersey Shore, is no stranger to hot, August water rescues. But today, one word whispered in the waves will set him on an extraordinary adventure. He'll visit an enchanted city at the bottom of the sea, embark on a journey to a dying world beyond the known universe, and crash willingly into the arms of a stunning, courageous mermaid—Mezzy.
A rebel at heart, Mezzy seeks adventure in or out of the water. Drawn to the land, and to Jonah, she's most concerned with the pending fate of her home realm. With Jonah's help, she'll find a way back to where she belongs, only to be washed away, into an apocalyptic war.
Facing existential annihilation is an unimaginable task, but it's only just the start. With their destinies entwined, can Jonah and Mezzy actually save Mercadia? Or will they find themselves preoccupied, detangling their tails?
