Where the Mermaids Sleep
(2027)(The Sisters' Secrets: Rose, Reen, and Pearl)
A novel by Katlyn Duncan
Some families inherit secrets.
Others inherit legends.
A missing girl.
Rose Barros has spent years caring for her aging mother, Pearl, while holding together what's left of a family fractured by grief, distance, and old wounds. When a teenage girl vanishes beneath the waves off the coast of The Burrow, Rose can't let the mystery go.
But the answers lead her somewhere impossible.
An estranged sister.
When Reen Barros returns home after years away, the sisters are forced to confront the past they've spent a lifetime avoiding. As Pearl's fading memories begin revealing fragments of a hidden history, Rose and Reen find themselves searching for more than the truth about a missing girl.
They're searching for the truth about themselves.
A family secret carried by the tide.
What begins as an investigation soon uncovers a mystery woven through generations of women, family secrets, and coastal folklore. As the past rises to the surface, the sisters must decide what they're willing to believe—and what they're willing to risk—to uncover the legacy their mother kept hidden for decades.
Set in a charming seaside town where magic lingers just beyond the waves, Where the Mermaids Sleep is a heartfelt contemporary fantasy about sisterhood, family, forgiveness, and the stories that refuse to stay buried.
