The Oyster Thief

Oceanic quest intertwines romance, secrets, and transformation.

"The Oyster Thief" could introduce you to a world you can almost feel the salt on your skin and hear the waves in your ears as you follow Coralline and Izar. It's not just another fantasy romance; it's an environmental epic that weaves magic with a raw look at the oceans' plight, making you root for love as much as for the sea. If the ocean’s mystery calls to you and you’re a fan of tales that bind adventure with purpose, this book is waiting to sweep you off your feet.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Coralline is a shy mermaid in the Atlantic Ocean whose idyllic life is ruined by an oil spill that gravely sickens her little brother. Desperate to save him, she embarks on a quest to find a legendary elixir. She encounters a human man, Izar, who's left his life on land behind to find a cure for his dying father. He doesn’t tell her that his family runs Ocean Dominion, an enemy corporation whose ships plunder her waters daily. Fate pushes the two of them together, even though their worlds are at odds. Accompanied by a colorful troupe of animals, Coralline and Izar travel through coral reefs and seabed cities, trailed by murderous adversaries and warring ships. Their secrets threaten to tear them apart, while a growing attraction adds to the danger. Ultimately, each of them faces an impossible choice. Should Coralline remain with the world she knows, including her fiancé, or should she relinquish everything for a stranger who might betray her? And Izar holds a secret of his own—one that might cause him to lose Coralline forever.
