Publisher's summary
Two different people from two very different worlds. Can a mermaid and a human boy find love? Can they survive in his world and hers?
A regal and highly trained young mermaid, Marina, is on her first spy mission to Skyeworld in 2020. She comes ashore on Siesta Key, Florida where she meets feisty Lukas, a proud Cuban refugee. Marina will have to choose between the advanced civilization of Aquantis, where she has been chosen as a High Priestess, and her love for Lukas and his dangerously polluted SkyeWorld.
The DROWNING WORLD is an inventive and mesmerizing saga set in a vivid future of rising seas, floating cities, and Flood Lands. Marina’s magic and skill save Lukas’ life. But can she save her own against a lifelong nemesis from her world?
"The Drowning World is a rollicking good tale of shape-shifting, time travel, mermaids, the secret world of Aquantis, and other dreams of Peterson's glorious imagination—all set against the backdrop of powerful forces—the fate of the seas, human turmoil, young love, and what everyone feels at some point in their life: The sense of being an alien in an alien land. Its pull is oceanic—it quickly lures you deep beneath its waves while time evaporates."—Diane Ackerman, The Zookeeper's Wife
“A wonderful novel,”—Marion Copeland, Nature in Legend and Story
“This underwater world is so believable and vivid and fascinating. It’s a page-turner. Irresistible.”—Sy Montgomery, The Good, Good Pig
