A Pisces In The Rain: Tales of a Mermaid

Kamary Phillips

About the Story

The ocean doesn’t feel like scenery to Marin Webber.
It feels like memory.

Marin has spent her whole life avoiding the shoreline. Saltwater makes her skin burn. The deep haunts her sleep. And the closer she gets to the ocean, the more the water seems to notice her.

Xela Michaels is nine years old, brilliant, physically disabled, and completely done being underestimated. She wants one thing: to win the swim meet and prove she is more than what people see. When Marin becomes her coach, Xela begins spotting patterns no adult is willing to name—fish that gather when Marin is near, currents that move against the wind, and a strange necklace key that never leaves Marin’s throat.

Offshore, a private research facility begins firing controlled seismic pulses into the Atlantic shelf. A tremor hits.

Xela goes under.

Something saves her.

And when Marin inherits the Webber offshore grid—fault lines, leases, and hidden infrastructure included—she discovers her family legacy is not money.

It’s a map.

Now the footage is disappearing. The tests are escalating. The deep is responding. And the people digging into Marin’s ocean don’t want permission.

They want her.

A Pisces In The Rain is the first book in the Tales of a Mermaid trilogy—an oceanic supernatural thriller about identity, obsession, inheritance, and what wakes when the deep is pushed too hard.
