Triton's Daughter

Book excerpt: What if the person that you had been dreaming of since you were a child was real? Kylaya and Jett have been dreaming of each other since they were children. Never believing that the other truly existed, they forged their way in their own separate worlds; unaware that the other was closer than they realized. Kylaya, heir to the throne of the underwater kingdom of Triton, has been tossed into her leadership role much earlier than expected. When her father falls ill, it is left to her to lead her people and keep them safe from the threat of the Sirens - a deadly race of mutated Mer. She discovers just how dangerous her job is when she finds herself at the mercy of a Siren; which is almost as scary as her engagement to a man she could never fall in love with. Jett has lived his life on the prairies at the heart of the grain belt in Saskatchewan all his life. He found his calling upholding his people's laws and protecting them. Highly skilled and deadly at his job, Jett is one of his people's most prominent citizens. But when he sees a young, beautiful Mer attacked by a Siren, he throws away the reputation he has worked hard for by disobeying his people's first law - never make contact with the Mer - and saves her. KyLaya and Jett are brought together in the most unlikely of situations, forced to face each other and the feelings that have been growing between them for years. Will their love for each other survive the prejudice that they were raised with? Will they be able to see each other for who they are, not what they are before an ancient power destroys them both? The gods seek them. Evil searches for them. For, KyLaya is a Mer and Jett is a Sirenite. A Siren's son.
