Mer: Falling Kingdom — Jade M. Phillips

In this eagerly awaited sequel to MER: The Captain's Secret, Jade M. Phillips has created a work of unsurpassed vision, magic, and imagination. Falling Kingdom, the second book in the MER series, transports us to a world of revenge and revelry, warfare and wizardry unlike any you have ever experienced. In an ancient realm where mystical creatures are myth and enchantment is only found in bed-time stories, a dark magic bleeds into the land, causing fairy tales -- good and evil -- to wake after a long and deep sleep. With more secrets revealed and with the help of a mysterious group called the Peace Protectors, the Castlecray children continue to race against time in search for answers to further help them in their quest. Son fights father and sister fights brother in this tale of good versus evil, land versus sea, and legend versus law. And with the broken prophecy now united and in the hands of an evil enchantress, the world hangs in the balance, threatened to be swallowed whole by the dreaded and ravenous power of MER. Against a backdrop of magical forests and malicious murderers, victory may go to the truest of heart or to the blackest of soul. For when evil enters the world, realms will tremble and Kingdoms will fall. *This is not a stand alone book. It is meant to go in order within its chronological series, starting with Book One of MER: FALLING KINGDOM.
