Tamir

Every baby is killed beneath the waves--with one exception. The one-hundred thousandth lives.A long time ago, 1 in every 100,000 children born from a human was a mermaid. But now mermaids are the only ones that can survive in this flooded world. Every human child born is killed the moment they take their first breath. However, one in every one-hundred thousand is spared. These children are placed on the mountain-tops, the "islands", that poke up over the sea. The Earth has become warmer, making these islands habitable. The humans that survive through Mother Nature's fury have created Tribes, created rules. One of these rules is to not go near the water, to not touch it. But when Tamir's best friend steals his girl and pushes him into the sharp, rocky death waiting below, Tamir's sure this is where his story ends--or has it just begun?You know Cressa-la's story. But do you know Tamir's?
