Oceans Apart. But Then…

More cool stuff from WonderCon. This one we’ve heard was upcoming, but we’ve been waiting for the official release. And here it is! Littoral Magic is a new fantasy novel by Aaron Mason and Leslie Ann Moore — the first in the All Oceans Aglow series. “For Ayana Outerbridge, a biracial fourteen-year-old girl, summer vacations on the evergreen Pacific Northwest coastline had once been a time of play and relaxation. But now her father is dead, and all that was bright is now dark. Until one day she finds a strange and startlingly beautiful seashell… Just offshore, the river otter Sleek has broken the Law. He has entered the forbidden Garden to retrieve a mind-elevating gift for his true love Gloss, headstrong daughter of the sea otter king. His trespass threatens to push both tribes closer to all-out war. But will Gloss follow her heart or the rules of her kin? The fates of Ayana, Sleek, and Gloss will soon converge — and when they do, the all oceans will shine with an otherworldly light.” Find it now over at Barnes & Noble.
