CIDARIS AND RAINE

In the moonlit waters of Zandenaume's hidden lagoon, two worlds collide.
Cidaris, a dashing merman with a heart as deep as the ocean, longs for more than
the sea can offer. Raine, a radiant young woman from the world above, dreams of
adventure beyond the shore. When their paths cross in a forbidden encounter, a
love blossoms that defies the boundaries of land and sea.



Bound by the ancient laws of their realms, Cidaris and Raine must navigate a
treacherous divide between their worlds. With their families locked in a bitter
feud their love faces peril from every side. As they struggle to find a way to
unite their disparate worlds, they discover that true love might be the only
force powerful enough to bridge their divide.



In a spellbinding retelling of Shakespeare’s timeless classic, Cidaris and Raine
dives into an enchanting world of magic, romance, and the eternal struggle to be
together against all odds. Will their love rise above the waves, or will it be
swept away by the currents of fate?

HELLO

My name is Christina Van Starkenburg

When I am not writing and illustrating books, I spend my time raising three tiny
dragons. It is a challenging endeavor to keep the fire-breathing beasts and
paper separated, (and more than one story has been singed in the process) but I
keep trying because I love sharing the magic of my fictional worlds with you.

 

As a dragon trainer, it is important for me to spend a lot of time outside. So,
when I'm not writing or painting, you can usually find me, my husband, and our
young brood exploring the ocean and old growth forests on Vancouver Island .
