Bimini's Secret: Beneath the Blue Veil

When young Molly-an African-descended mermaid adorned in pearls, coral, and gold-discovers that humans are dredging and destroying the islands, she is forced into a journey that will test her courage, her ancestry, and her destiny. Guided by her family, the islanders of Bimini, wise Chinchani guardians, and powerful sea creatures-an octopus, a shark, and dolphins-Molly becomes part of a sacred alliance sworn to defend the underwater city beneath the small island of Bimini. But as storms rise and the glowing summer ocean home to the mysterious Coral Singer begins to fade, the balance between land and sea is threatened. Legends awaken, secrets unravel, and a silent war stirs between the protectors of the deep and the forces destroying the island. In this richly imagined fantasy, the line between reality and myth dissolves. Carrying the scent of fresh bread in the morning air and the spirit of the Bahamian people, Bimini s Secrets reveals a world of ancestral power, hidden cities, and the unbreakable bond between land and sea. A story of guardianship, heritage, and hope for young readers and adults who love ocean fantasy, Afrocentric folklore, and mythic adventure.
