For Fans of V.E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic series.

When marine biologist Audrey Grey survives a deadly orca attack that claims her research partner, she believes her life can’t get any stranger—until she awakens on a tropical beach unlike any place on Earth.

In this realm called Merluma, the laws of evolution have taken a startling turn. Mythical creatures of lore and humans with extraordinary adaptations inhabit this parallel world, challenging Audrey’s scientific understanding. As she desperately searches for answers, she’s drawn to a mysterious figure, Sinto, who is strangely familiar.

Audrey discovers shocking connections between Sinto and her past. Family secrets surface like ancient shipwrecks, and the true circumstances of her mother’s drowning death a decade earlier may hold the key to her destiny.

Flow As Water is the first book in Lisa Cram’s mesmerizing debut, the Earth Stones Trilogy, an otherworldly adventure that plunges readers into a world where parallel evolution, ancient conflict, and the irresistible pull of fate converge beneath the waves.
