A Cascading Hope

Can one find hope where hatred gathers? Muírin only wanted to know the truth. She never expected her mother, the Sea Mither and life-giver of the seas, to be attacked amidst Rousay Island’s annual festival. Devastated, Muírin searches desperately for the heaven’s leaf, a magical plant that can heal her mother. Her search leads her to the shores of Hildaland, the magical island of the Finn Folk, and she finds herself swept up in a grisly mystery. One by one, those around her disappear, and her mother's life—as well as the lives of all sea folk—hangs in the balance. Muirin must solve the mystery and heal her mother before it's too late and everyone she loves—including herself—are turned into sea foam. "A Cascading Hope", a new adult retelling of The Little Mermaid, is a standalone novella, complete with tropes like friends to lovers, extrovert/introvert, and magical creatures. It is part of the “Hope Ever After” series, a collection of twenty hopeful and uplifting fairy tale retellings. Each book is written by a different author so it can be enjoyed in any order. The proceeds from this series are donated to the O.U.R. (Operation Underground Railroad) to rescue children from exploitation and trafficking.
