Son of the Water Underwater World: Underwater World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786552782137)

The Underwater World is a tale of volition and war, where destiny flows like currents through the deep. The fate of the realm depends not on kings or gods, but on who forges the mightiest alliance. For centuries, peace clung to the coastal cities like barnacles to stone. But peace was an illusion. From the shadowy trenches and drowned ruins of the deep emerged the Moray kind-ancient, serpentine amphibians who slithered between sea and land with eerie ease. With their bioluminescent scales and gill-fringed necks, they were creatures of myth and nightmare, long thought extinct by surface dwellers. But they had never vanished. They had been waiting.In time, they struck a pact with the Crooked Pirates of the buccaneer's den, who once ruled the open waves but now hungered for landbound spoils. The Moray offered amphibious mobility and the force of the deep; the pirates brought strategy and terrestrial warfare. Together, they became a tidal wave of destruction. City after city fell along the Old World Coast. The razing of Menestrel, once a jewel of trade and harmony, sent a signal to the world: there was no sanctuary. It was in that city's flames and salt-streaked alleys that three lives were the solution to all the impending ordeal now threatening the world of man.Thormon was born of two worlds-his elven mother gave him grace and foresight, while his merfolk father bequeathed him the gift of breathing both air and water. Yet he had belonged to neither people. With him grew Egil, a boy hardened by hardship, known for reading maps and fishing. And Katrina, fierce and unshaken, with a voice that could calm even the most frenzied tides-a talent that hinted at tamers skills.When Menestrel burned, they did not just lose a home. They lost their childhood haven. From the ashes rose a mission: to unite the fractured nations of men, and the aloof merfolk.. It was Thormon, with his bloodline bridging sea and land, who became the unlikely emissary of unity.But unity would not come easily. The Moray kind, led by the warlord and the empress Morein Serpentine saw Thormon's efforts as an existential threat. The union alliance, as it became known by the high man was the pact of mutual benefit that included Nations of man and merfolk's Atlantis. Thormon was the force of union that gathered all the city-states and fought side by side with Baldar and Cicipangle. When not fighting, Thormon and his friends Katrina and Egil, enjoyed the life of a commoner inside the castle of Lord Vermundr the Misty. Before that, he had to prove that he was not guilty at killing the squire Ormr, at the time a thrall driven by old demon lord Imaculus. If the Axis succeeded with their plan to conquer the world, the race of man would be nearly wiped out from existence. And the last foothold of mankind would be the wicked pirates. Meanwhile, logic divination turned once allied crooks into suspicious colleagues of war. Captain pirate Barbarosa once the terror of the New World, began to doubt the alliance. He feared the Moray kind sought not partnership, but domination.Fortunately, the union brought together a mighty army that recovered the conquered Pazlan and fought the Axis at sea and land. At the land of Sardina, where the buccaneer den was located, the cloak of evil engulfed the overlord magi to poison the land and turn the island into a barren foul territory of paranormal creatures, corrupting everything and preventing the pirate family from ever regaining the previous influence on the world. The merfolk destroyed the sunken city of Cobra 'aqua, trapping the morayfolk inside holes and turning the previous famous city into a tourist attraction.
