Storm and Sea - Paperback

by Tereza Kane (Author)

Atreus has carved out a quiet, stable life among humans on the island of Baia Vita, earning their respect while hiding a dangerous truth: he is Mer. Exiled by his own people for the color of his scales, he has learned to navigate life as an outsider, finding solace in the rhythms of the fishing village. But his fragile peace is shattered when Nyel, a na?ve and determined runaway Mer fleeing the suffocating traditions of his home, lands on the island.

Nyel's arrival disrupts everything Atreus has built. Though they clash at first, their growing friendship-and the flicker of something more-forces both men to confront the prejudices and traditions that shaped them. But their personal struggles are interrupted when a powerful criminal family begins stripping Baia Vita's bay of fish, threatening the village's survival. As starvation looms, Atreus and Nyel must join forces to save the humans they've both come to care for. Yet, with their secrets on the verge of exposure, they must tread carefully. After all, the very people they hope to protect might destroy them first.

Storm and Sea is a heart-wrenching novel by Tereza Kane. If you enjoy found family, mythical creatures, and LGBTQ+ representation in fantasy, you'll love this captivating tale of acceptance, betrayal, and finding a home in the unlikeliest people.
