Members of the secret mermaid community have learned to trust The Council for their safety against this highly contagious illness. As well as ensure the security of the island and protection from the outside world, by whatever means necessary.

Thea Galleon is nearing her Tail Ceremony, a Pisciessoan rite of passage completed on a Pisci’s nineteenth birthday. One day, a stranger appears on the island bringing with him a typhoon of events, throwing Thea into the eye of the storm. After the encounter with the intruder, Thea learns she isn’t who she thought, discovers she’s in trouble with The Council, and is wanted for treason!

Armed with only her ability to sense danger, a duffel bag of bottled water and protein bars, and her best friends, Calix and Coral, they hatch a plan to escape the secluded island. Now, Thea is on the run and on a journey to reveal the truth about her past, family secrets, and government schemes.
