ATANA GN (2025)

Atana's island may be quiet and peaceful, but mostly, it's lonely. With the outside world full of magic hunters who would stop at nothing to trap a mermaid like herself, Atana has never been brave enough to swim far from her island's shores and seek the answers to her mysterious past-until Ren unexpectedly crashes into her life. A firebird whose kind has not been seen for hundreds of years, Ren's arrival does not go unnoticed. Determined to both protect Ren and finally chase the answers she's longed for, Atana embarks on an adventure that takes her and the firebird to strange new islands and entangles them with the powerful yet secretive Witch Queen. enerous though the Witch Queen's offer of protection may be, an invitation to the Blue Palace can't come without a price. And while the Palace's splendid halls and library might hold the key to Atana's past, will she be willing to pay the cost when it risks her chance of a bright new future?

Atana may be one step closer to discovering her past, but it didn't come without a cost. Though the mermaid and her companions-Ren, the last known firebird, and Cosmos, her witch guard-turned-friend-narrowly escaped the Witch Queen, time is running short. They may have foiled the Queen's plans to use Ren to revive their world's broken magic cycle, but Ren is still growing weaker by the minute… Atana and Cosmos are determined to help their friend recover, but Ren's priorities are elsewhere. After discovering that the firebirds of old are responsible for destroying the flow of magic for all beings, she is determined to right her people's wrongs. When Atana resolves to join this quest, her past-lurking deep below the seas-threatens to destroy not only their friendship but also their very chance at restoring the balance of magic itself. After a lifetime of dreaming of finding a home below the water, is Atana willing to leave behind everything she's fought for on land?
