El Book
For Tristan Hart, everything changes with one crashing wave.

He was gone for three days. Sucked out to sea from Coney Island beach in a tidal wave and spit back ashore with no memory of what happened. Now his dreams are haunted by a terrifying silver mermaid with razor-sharp teeth.

His best friend Layla is convinced something is wrong. But how can he explain he can sense emotion like never before? How can he explain he’s heir to a kingdom he never knew existed? That he’s suddenly a pawn in a battle as ancient as the gods.

Something happened to him in those three days. He was claimed by the sea... and now it wants him back.
