The tides have turned.
The call has been made.
And the legends of the sea are awake.
All seems well on the Birde Isles. Ally’s first year as a mermaid is nearly at an end — and despite the comfort of building a life beneath the waves, the call of the land is inescapable. But something ancient stirred in the depths when Pasha left her home to aid Ally’s rescue mission. A source of magic that holds the key to releasing a deadly enemy, intent on the destruction of mermaids.
When a member of Pasha’s long-lost shoal suddenly appears with a dire warning, Ally and Pasha are faced with a choice: stay and guard their home, or journey across the seas to save the rest of Pasha’s kin.
Whichever they choose, freedom threatens to slip through their fingers like sand…
The Kingsport Chronicles trilogy concludes with To Free the Waves.

This has such a strong, immersive vibe—the mix of ocean magic, hidden threats, and that tension between staying safe or venturing out makes the story really compelling. I like how the stakes feel both personal and epic at the same time, especially with Pasha’s past coming back into play. When I get into stories like this, I sometimes take short breaks to keep the experience fresh—recently I’ve been passing those moments with SoFlo Wheelie Life a light bike game centered around balance and control, which is a fun contrast to deeper narratives like this one
