SEQUEL due out late summer, 2014! This YA fantasy romance novel is like The Hunger Games, set underwater in a future of rising seas, floating cities, and Flood Lands.

On the beach, 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.
Marina's magic and skill save Lukas' life. But can she save her own against a lifelong nemesis from her world?
