The Secret of Sparkles’ Cove (Tales of Tidehaven, Book 1)

"A promise made by the sea is a promise kept forever."

Dive into the magical world of Tidehaven, where an unlikely friendship is about to change everything!

Ellie is a spirited princess who would much rather be chasing waves and exploring tidepools than sitting on a throne wearing a heavy crown. Everything changes after a huge storm when she discovers Sparkles—a mermaid with a dazzling rainbow tail—washed ashore and in need of a friend.

In a hidden cove away from the castle's rules, Ellie and Sparkles share laughter, secrets, and a solemn promise to keep each other safe. But when whispers of "sea monsters" begin to spread through the kingdom, Ellie must find her true courage. With the help of Pip, a mischievous kitchen boy, Ellie faces stormy seas and dangerous nets to protect her shimmering friend.
