Zimbell House Publishing, LLC, Sep 10, 2019 - Fiction - 518 pages

The water, home to mermaids, selkies, and pirates alike, serves as a vessel for secrets, though it is not always airtight. A secret may sink to the bottom as a treasure long forgotten, or it may breach the surface, wrapping its tendrils around an innocent victim.

Secrets in the Water showcases 31 mystical tales of deception, illusion, and enchantment, tales of seafaring witches, a seemingly magical family heirloom, the enticing call of a siren, and other secrets obscured by the waves.
