| Maelan is merman who has lived in the ocean all of his life. What is supposed to be a simple swim for his two sisters and himself turns into a tragedy. He watches as humans kill his sisters right before his very eyes and there is nothing he can do to stop it. Now he is shown pity by his race because of what happened. Tired of the sympathy Maelan decides to get away from everyone by going back to the place where his sisters were killed, however in an ironic turn of events he is captured and faces the same fate. He soon finds himself falling for his captor's daughter Caera Geddes and is caught between his emotions for his dead sisters, his trust for humans and his growing love for Caera. What will the outcome be for this merman caught between two worlds?
Oceanbound is a unique story that goes into the world of the mermaid or merman to be exact. I found myself intrigued by the story and just couldn't put it down. Maelan is a sensitive and emotional man with a tragic past. Caera is kind and caring and very sympathetic towards Maelan, she finds herself feeling more than she should. This story definitely kept me reading and will hold you interest in wonder. Lacey Savage has created a world of wonder and mystical creatures that will surely capture the reader's heart.
