(FIRST DRAFT!)Many types of Undine exist in the continental kingdom of Cetacea. Sirens prey on sailors with alluring illusions. Mermaids can sing storms into being. Selkies amaze with their incredible strength. Naiads heal using their soothing melodies. True Undines, or Nereids, are much more powerful. Their thoughts and emotions can change currents and summon waves. They are feared and oppressed because of their immense power, yet not all of them use their abilities with malice. Cari is a Nereid, and she wants to end the oppression her people experience. Her mission is thwarted, however, when her mother sends her upon a quest to reclaim the weapon of a distant ancestor.

With that, and more, can she change a kingdom founded on an ancient decree aimed against her people?…
