She has the voice to reach them. But will it be enough to stop the silence?
In the deep ocean, the Kopri speak in flashes of color and shape—an ancient language woven across their skin. For generations, they’ve guarded the coral spawning grounds where new life begins.
But now their coral nurseries are being torn apart by invading nets—and no new younglings are being born. If the destruction continues, the Kopri will vanish forever.
Kei lives on the edge of the Nadako Sea, where humans and Kopri hunt together in fragile harmony. Her legs may not carry her across the sand, but her voice—high and clear—can reach where others can’t: into the hearing range of the Kopri.
To the Kopri, Kei’s rare voice is their last hope. To everyone else, she’s just the girl who doesn’t belong.
When DeepRunner, a Kopri elder scarred by loss, rises from the depths to warn of the growing invasion, he can hear only one human: Kei.
Together, they must journey beyond the safe harbors of home to stop the destruction—before the Kopri are driven to extinction.
Tide Song: Melody of the Deep is a lyrical young adult fantasy about claiming your power, defying what others expect of you, and choosing to fight for a world no one else believes can be saved.
Melody of the Deep is a complete standalone novel, but Kei’s story continues in Children of Tayjaru, coming to Amazon July 2025.
