Little Sea Rose. ReTold Minis, #3

For the first time in fifteen generations, the underwater kingdom has a sea prince. Adored and exalted, Kale has spent his life surrounded by guards and shadowed everywhere he swims. The youngest of six, and the only boy, he's felt distanced from his sisters and plagued by loneliness his entire young life. Until on his sixteenth birthday, he fulfills the law by venturing to the surface. There, he witnesses a land girl fighting for her life.
While law forbids him from allowing himself to be seen, he wastes no time rescuing the beautiful Rosheen. Yet trouble finds him when he returns to the sea. Finally free from his guards, Kale explores the forbidden ruins. To his surprise, he discovers a clue to his father's disappearance along with signs pointing to the co-existence between sea and land people. Before he can tell a soul, a curse is activated, turning the sea prince human. Unable to speak, he ventures top-side where he must rely on Rosheen to help unravel the mystery.
Something sinister lurks in the depths, spreading its inky hate through the kingdom. Can Kale and Rosheen uncover the clues that explain his father's disappearance? Or will they be the next victims of the sea witch's cruel curse?LITTLE SEA ROSE is a short retelling of Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid.
