Daughter of the Sea

The Little Mermaid was a true story, and this is what happened next. Breena really did marry the prince, but she had a magically long lifespan, so he died many years ago after a happy life together. She now has a daughter Opal, who doesn't remember her father. Breena has kept Opal from the sea for seventeen years, but when they suddenly move to a new town, the water is near and Opal ends up making new friends. She even finds a spark of awkward romance in the form of a surfer girl named Nada. Opal's true nature begins to express itself, and soon it becomes hard to hide this from her mother, not to mention her new friends. All too swiftly Jonah, the sinister cryptozoologist and his corporate goons who have been hunting Breena for years, tracks them to their new home. Now it is a race against time for Opal to embrace her heritage, break the chains of sorrow that have ensnared her mother, and protect the love that has ignited her spirit. A contemporary fairy tale of love, loss, and discovering identity.
