Synopsis

Book II of the Waterwight Trilogy! CIPA EVVY Merit Award for Fantasy!

- Celeste is confident she has cured the chaos in a world shattered by The Event.

- Sharon and her misshapen sister discover their nefarious parents are still alive.

- Nick and the villagers must defend themselves in an altered world—a world in which everything is in flux.

- And jealous ancient gods have selfish ideas about how they’ll use the girl who stopped the ooze.

Lured away from curious creatures and hopeful new friends in this perplexing world, Celeste’s fight to preserve her life—and her fragile identity—has just begun. But can she succeed on her own?

Waterwight Flux begins where Book I ends, with Celeste transformed and on her way to an ethereal world in the heavens, home of Odin, god of the sky. There she learns many things about the planet, its survivors, and the lonesome god.

Although she is more than ready to return to Nick in the village, a mysterious newcomer tells her she still has much to learn. And learn, she does, in the realm of the sea god Kumugwe.

Join her as she continues her quest to find home . . . and answers.
