  Beneath the sunken archipelago of Verdemer, where merfolk heirs rise in pearl armors against coral tyrants and tide sovereigns command waves from isle ruins, heir Marina rises with a tide of rebel currents, their sovereignty threatened by tyrants who choke the seas with coral chains. The isles, risen in armor vows and command-kissed surges, rebuild the depths—or submerge in tyrannical floods. As they surge through isle-laced reefs and sovereign-bound trenches, risen by tyrant sentinels and wave rivals, Marina's heir grace fuses with rebels' tide fury, unveiling a verdemer legend of emerald ascension. When a chained pearl summons flood krakens, they must rise the sovereign to break the coral. In the emeralds of tide isles, where every wave crashes the chain and every command stirs the deep, their epic rise becomes the archipelago that surfaces the oppressed seas.

  Eleanor Porter's Pollyanna is widely considered a classic of children's literature. Pollyanna is a kind novel advocating an optimistic outlook, which is summarized in a famous quote 'When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will'. Pollyanna, a young orphan, is living with her stern aunt, who is taking care of her out of 'sense of duty'. Under any circumstances Pollyanna prefers to see only their best side, taking joy in simplest things, she affects everyone around her. Hence a popular term 'Pollyannaism', or the Pollyanna Principle, a subconscious bias towards the positive. The tale of Pollyanna will undoubtedly infect the reader with cheer and gladness.
