Book 1 in the 2 book Mer Chronicles: 1-MERS 2-ETHAN'S EMPIRE

The Mers: What lies beneath the surface? One hundred years from now the world has changed and brought with it new forms of life. Who are the Mers? Who is Mira?

“I am not a Mer,” A simple but profound statement that changes Mira’s life forever. She always knew she was different. She never quite fit in with the Mers. However, when her quest to understand her past leads her across the border that divides two vastly different worlds, she thinks the journey to find out who she really is will be an easy one.

But, in Jersey she finds more questions than answers. The “Garden State” has become a convoluted mix of Aristocrats who hate the Mers, Pirates who want to sell them, and Magi who want to use them, finding her true identity will be a challenge, especially when her traveling companion is a Mer willing to fight to the death.

READER REVIEWS:

"The Mers is not quite the type of novel I usually read. I'm not a big fan of the fantasy genre but I DO love a good dystopian story! And Mers delivered on that! This novel does Dystopian lit well. It's also a coming of age novel with some romance. It's one of the most unique YA novels I have ever read. I look forward to reading the sequels." -Tzipora @Goodreads

"Oh my...this was truly an interesting read for me. It's my first mermaid dystopian and I really enjoyed every single page of this book." -Ananda @Goodreads

"The Mers was a very interesting and exciting novel! It combines two of my very favorite genres and blends them into an enchanting story. Ami Blackwelder writes a mermaid dystopian that is a combination of action and romance that is extremely fast-paced from the very first page and never stops until the end." -Destiny @Goodreads

"Gripping and Brilliant!…I honestly liked it. It was different!" -Diary of a Cambridge Student

"I finished "The Mers", and I loved it….The characters are complex …I want to know more!  LOVE IT! LOVE IT!" -Charla VandeBerg (Raymond B. Stewart Middle)
