A sharp new twist on the legend of Atlantis

Nia has a dream - that one day she will be an Avatar, one of the beings joined together with a Farworlder to be part of the ruling council of Atlantis. It is a great honour and she can't wait to compete in the trials - but then her cousin Garun is chosen instead. Angry and confused, Nia begins to question what has happened - which leads to a discovery that will change the way that she thinks about her home forever. The future of Atlantis lies in the balance and Nia's dream could destroy the entire city.This book is the very excellent beginning of the water trilogy. Nia is smart, stubborn, and determined to win the role of an Avatar - but even when the dream is denied she fights for what she believes in. This book is great and the concept behind it is very cool. In this "reality" Atlantis is home to the mermyds who were created from the humans of Earth and the alien Farworlders. Nia is a very human looking mermyd with fairly normal colouring and legs, but some mermyds have tails and look more like fish. As Nia explores the msytery of why Garun was chosen over her she discovers two prisoners in a prison less society.This is an excellent book that draws you into the world of Atlantis and keeps you there. I can't wait to finish the second book.

EXCELLENT!

This book is excellent! It is about a 16 year old merymd named Nia who lives in Atlantis. Nia has always dreamed of being an avatar--a merymd that rules Atlantis. When one avatar steps down, a new one will be chosen. Garun, a boring and slow merymd gets chosen to compete from her clan, Nia is crushed and confused. Nia must find out why he is chosen. This book combines mystery, adventure, and romance.

This book was really good!

This book had a good twist having to do with Atlantis. I thought that it was very educational and enlightening. It is about a 16-year-old mermyd named Nia. She has to face evil and everything else along the way. I really liked this book. If you like fantasy, then I suggest that you read it!

Charming Nia of Atlantis

Garun, her cousin is chosen to represent the Bluefish clan. Nia knows she is way better qualafied and is crushed that her dream is over. Garun is just...boring. He's not very fast either. So she starts investigating why she was not chosen. Even her grandfater, Dynosis will not tell her the truth and that is so unlike him. Nia also loves Cephan, who was also chosen to represent his clan. One day, Cephan shows Nia a secret. He is a guard of Ma'el and his Farworlder, a Avater in prison and is unknown to most. Ma'el was banished and is evil and powerful still, Cephan, she discovers, is not as he seems. Everything in her world is not as it seems and Atlantis is in danger... Nia discovers surprise after surprise. Surprises of her true family, love, betrayal, and her destiny.
