Life at the surface isn't a decision that can be made. It's something you have to be chosen to receive. What mermaids lack that humans possess isn't legs. It's a soul.To her senior class, Gwendolyn is living in a fairy tale. She has the diploma, the diamond, and Ryan—the high school sweetheart who promised her forever before life even really began. He is her safe harbor, the golden boy who holds her future in his hands.
But ever since her best friend disappeared, the sun hasn't been enough to chase away the cold. While everyone else is celebrating new beginnings, Gwendolyn is haunted by the past—searching for a piece of her heart that was lost at the cliffs.
Then he emerges.
His name is Marcus, and his mirrored eyes reflect a world Gwendolyn doesn’t understand. He is everything Ryan is not—ethereal, dangerous, and utterly broken. Gwendolyn is drawn to the enigmatic stranger who speaks the secrets she thought were only in her dreams.
But Marcus didn't enter her life by chance. A grievous oath binds him to the sea—a promise that demands the payment of a soul. As the truth of her friend’s disappearance becomes terrifyingly clear, Gwendolyn realizes Marcus is the only one who can protect her from the darkness—even if he is the very thing she needs protection from.
One man holds the keys to her future, while the other holds the truth of her soul. In the end, her heart can only belong to one.
Waters of Change is the first novel in The Unspoken Heart Series—a Christian allegory at its most redemptive, where the ocean is treacherous, the stakes are eternal, and the mermaids are terrifyingly reimagined.
