Tara N Gabrys is a new Indie author you do not want to miss. Her debut novel Under A Violet Moon will keep you wanting more and more.

Did I mention it mostly takes place under the sea in the life of a mermaid!🧜‍♀️ You won’t be disappointed ☺️

Synopsis: When the heiress to Aqualasia Islands finds herself plunging into the ocean on the night of a full moon, her world is turned upside down when she discovers the secrets her parents have been keeping from her for the past eighteen years. The very blood in her veins not only connects her to a world she never knew existed, it may also be the key to breaking a century-long curse.
