Fathomfolk (Drowned World, Book 1) By Eliza Chan

In the submerged city of Tiankawi, a revolution brews between humans and fathomfolk. Mira, a half-siren, aims to uplift her people as captain of the border guard. However, her efforts face challenges when Nami, a water dragon princess, is exiled under her watch. Amidst growing tensions, extremist acts trigger violence and a crackdown on fathomfolk rights.

Tiankawi, a beacon of human civilization, conceals a darker truth beneath its shining towers: the fathomfolk, dwelling in the polluted waters below, face oppression and discrimination. As Mira navigates her dual identity and strives for equality, she grapples with earning the trust of her human colleagues while championing the rights of her people.

With Nami's arrival stirring further turmoil, Mira confronts the daunting task of maintaining peace amidst rising unrest. The sabotage of a city festival escalates tensions to a breaking point, forcing both Mira and Nami to confront the consequences of their actions and decide the fate of Tiankawi.

As the struggle for change intensifies, Mira and Nami must weigh the cost of revolution against the potential for a better future. Will they risk everything to challenge the status quo and fight for justice, or will they succumb to the pressures of the oppressive system? In a world torn between tradition and progress, the fate of Tiankawi hangs in the balance, awaiting the decisions of its courageous protagonists. 📚❤️
