New Release
In this final book of The Marinesia Trilogy, Malcolm, Taryn, and Kaileigh, the children of the Prophecy, have one last magical Marinesian Artifact to find—the Deeppearl Ring. Thanks to them, the Seadrop Pendant and the Tidal Bracelet have been secured and the Barrier between Earth and Marinesia is closer than ever to being safely sealed.
But when the children, along with their merfolk friends, Sandy and Pike, discover a new threat from Leviathan, the evil serpent bent on destroying both Earth and Marinesia, finding the Deeppearl Ring becomes all the more important. But where is it? And will they find it before his spy in the Marinesian High Council does?
As Malcolm struggles with changes in his personal life, his growing attraction to Taryn, and the weight of new discoveries that could wipe out both Earth and Marinesia, he must find a way to overcome his challenges, and with the help of his friends, defeat Leviathan once and for all.
The Deeppearl Ring is an action-packed conclusion to the tale of Marinesia about the power of friendship and the importance of doing the right thing, even if it’s dangerous.
The Rest of the Marinesia Trilogy
Book One
After moving from the big city of Toronto, Ontario, to the tiny village of Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, Taryn Noble expected nothing except a long, boring summer ahead.
But that was before she received a mysterious pendant for her 14th birthday. That was before those strange creatures started chasing Taryn, her blind little sister Kaileigh, and her new neighbour Malcolm McKenna. That was before she let two total strangers pull her into a world unlike anything she’d ever imagined.
In the magical, underwater world of Marinesia, Taryn, Kaileigh and Malcolm are quickly befriended by a clan of merfolk. It is through them that the three children learn that they are the only ones who can locate three Marinesian Artifacts that are needed to permanently seal the rift in the Barrier between Marinesia and Earth, and protect them from the evil sea serpent Leviathan, and his legions of bloodthirsty Drakken.
Time is running out. The Barrier between Marinesia and Earth is weakening, and if Leviathan manages to collect all three Artifacts, that Barrier will be blasted wide open – resulting in a cataclysmic event that will ultimately wipe out all life on both worlds.
Book Two
No one was more surprised than 11-year-old Kaileigh Noble, when the vivid imaginings that she dreamt up to compensate for her lifelong blindness, suddenly became frighteningly real. But after stumbling upon the Seadrop Pendant, one of three magical Artifacts, Kaileigh, her older sister, Taryn, and her new neighbour, Malcolm McKenna, were chased by the vicious Drakken into a parallel underwater world called Marinesia. There, they managed to hide the Pendant safely away in the Cave of Desolation, thus completing the first step in their destiny to repair the weakening Barrier between Marinesia and Earth, and separate the two worlds forever.
That was one month ago. Now back home in Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, their search for the two remaining Artifacts is interrupted when the girls’ Aunt Sisi arrives for a surprise visit – and then disappears just as suddenly. And when Kaileigh accidentally switches her aunt’s laptop, she discovers a file on a children’s book that Aunt Sisi was writing – about a magical underwater world identical to Marinesia! Furthermore, she may know the location of the second Artifact, the Tidal Bracelet!
Could Aunt Sisi have been to Marinesia herself? All Kaileigh knows for sure is that, with the help of Taryn, Malcolm, and their mermaid friends Sandy and Pike, she has to fi nd Aunt Sisi, and the Tidal Bracelet, fast! Because the evil serpent Leviathan and his vicious Drakken will stop at nothing to get the Bracelet first, which means that Aunt Sisi’s life, as well as the fate of two worlds, could be in grave danger...
Book Two in The Marinesia Trilogy, The Tidal Bracelet is a breathtaking and action-packed tale.
