Untouched Water (The One-Hundred #2)

by Jeffrey N Bruce

Overview

What if Cressa-la hadn't touched the water? How drastically different would things be?

~

Every baby is killed beneath the waves--with one exception. The one-hundred thousandth lives.

A long time ago, 1 in every 100,000 children born from a human was a mermaid. But now mermaids are the only ones that can survive in this flooded world. Every human child born is killed the moment they take their first breath. However, one in every one-hundred thousand is spared.

These children are placed on the mountain-tops, the "islands", that poke up over the sea. The Earth has become warmer, making these islands habitable. The humans that survive through Mother Nature's fury have created Tribes, created rules. One of these rules is to not go near the water, to not touch it.

And Cressa-la doesn't. Because she chose to follow the rules, could there be an even bigger consequence than when she had?

About the Author

K. Weikel uses her three-dimensional characters to tell stories of life and adventure and magic. She's been writing since she could hold a pencil, and creating worlds to fall in love with even longer than that, putting on plays and concerts for her family with her cousins and siblings, and even reading her stories aloud to the class in elementary school. Weikel pushes her brain to its limits and beyond with her mind-bending stories and the epic forces of nature held between pages and laced across words. She doesn't write pointless tales to entertain, but she writes stories of life and lessons, and she yearns for her readers to learn something through another's eyes. "Foolishness brings joy to one without sense, but a man with understanding walks a straight path." The One-Hundred won the Wattys Award in 2015 and has reached over one million reads, and grows more and more each day. She is currently writing her thirtieth book: The One (Book 5 of The One-Hundred Series), and is excited to have been able to write that many in such a short amount of time. Weikel is also reediting all of her books in celebration of this, and creating new covers for each of them. To find out more, visit her website: kweikel.com
