Andie Holman
**Discovery Editors' Choice Award 2025 Silver Medal in the General Fantasy Fiction Readers' Favorite Awards 2026.** This is not the little mermaid you grew up with. The Pacific Mers clan lives within a magical bubble for their protection, isolating them from humanity and the Surfecti, the magical people on land. Jelly is a Warrior Mermaid, able to pass through the barrier and explore the outer world. She wears a family heirloom, a teardrop black pearl at her throat, not knowing it has a hidden power. When she stares at a wall of plastic bottles in a superstore, becoming more furious by the second, the pearl wakes in response to her anger. She loses control. She'll be punished for this. But the pearl isn't done, and sets her on a journey to work with the estranged Surfecti. It's a mission she's not equipped to handle, requiring a cool head, something she's never had. Even worse, there's someone who desperately wants her pearl, and he will do anything to get it. And Jelly is in his way. * A climate-driven romantasy adventure set in the contemporary Pacific Ocean and surface world. The tone balances ecological horror with found-family warmth, slow-burn romance, and consistent comic relief. Described as “The Hunger Games” meets “Moana."
