​

Marie is confident that her senior year in High School will be her best one ever. That is, it would have been, if a chapter of Marie’s past had remained closed. High School soon becomes the least of her worries when Marie finds more adventure than she could ever imagine. Forced to come face to face with her biggest fears, and the possibility that one of her friends may not live through the school year, she also comes face to face with a creature of myth. Dorian is a young merman that doesn't know when to just say “no” to a dare and leave humans alone. Later, when an assignment from his teacher leads to a daring chase through the shallows, his curiosity (and a low tide) forces him to the surface world and to certain death. Luckily a human sees him and comes to his rescue… except that humans are cruel and will torture and kill him on sight, or so he was taught to believe. Challenging the teachings of his culture, Dorian is driven to uncover the truth, even if it takes him to the bottom of the ocean or inside a whale.

Marie was foolish to think she could keep up being normal after meeting Dorian.  He had a bad habit of getting in trouble and trouble has turned him into a human.

Now, all Marie could focus on was how she was going to help Dorian on his feet.  With the help of her friends, Steph and Viki, they try to solve the puzzle of turning him back and getting him into the water again.  If that wasn't enough, Dorian had lost a pearl that had been entrusted to him.  A pearl that would lead him to an ancient temple once used by the Merfolk.  With the odds stacking up against them, Marie could not imagine it possibly getting any worse. 

Until now, being normal had never seemed so impossible...

To do this, they will need to put their trust in a stranger that had tried to devour them only moments ago. Even if it means traveling down into the deepest depths of the ocean. Here, beware, for there be monsters in those deep, dark depths. Monsters with large, eyes and a thirst for blood. Yet, how will they survive when they don't even know how to use their new abilities? It's going to take the help of family, and friends both old and new to ensure any chance of survival this time. Should they fail, then the merpeople will remain cursed forevermore. Dive into the final, long-awaited conclusion of Mer Tails where the fate of an entire people rests on the shoulders of two teenagers, who are making things up as they go along.
