The MoonTide Series
Tears of the Tide
Book One of Moontide
In a realm where mythical creatures are forbidden to coexist with humans, a deadly curse threatens the fragile balance between land and sea.
Thalassa Cross wants only to understand her fear of the ocean and the forgotten memories tied to it. But when a sailing trip with her fiancé and his powerful family ends in a violent storm, she is pulled beneath the waves and wakes in Abyssus, a hidden undersea kingdom where humans are not only unwelcome — they are forbidden.
Aros Halloran, an anarchist sea king shackled by crown and duty, should have let her drown. But the resurgence of a delphic artifact and his dangerous pull toward Thalassa force them into an uneasy alliance that could expose secrets powerful enough to ignite a war between worlds.
The Author
About Shaw Westfall
A self-proclaimed prairie mermaid, Shaw Westfall is a mermantasy author with a lifelong fascination with the ocean and the stories waiting to be discovered just below the surface.
When not writing or studying folklore, you'll find her cosplaying game cons with family, scraping lead paint off an old Victorian farmhouse, and convincing herself that one more cup of tea won't keep her up — (spoiler) it always does.
