A Patchy Scaled SeaGiving
Tangela is a successful CarvMersa inventor, but to her family, she’s just a bottomless bucket of Inspira grain.
In the vibrant coral reef city of Geechmobo, off the coast of the Gullah Geechee islands, Tangela has finally found success bridging the gap between the Mersa world and Soulaan technology. But with success comes the sharks—and in this case, they are her own family.
As "SeaGiving" approaches, the requests for "blessings" and handouts are piling up higher than Ruina’s Ridge. With the help of her therapist and her best friends, Tangela must learn that "No" is a complete sentence before the holiday dinner feeds the sharks instead of her soul.

But when her best friend convinces her to break her long streak of solitude for a blind date during the Kwanzaa Solstice, Demetra finds herself navigating uncharted currents.
Waleem appears to be everything a Mersa could want: handsome, kind, and a talented Reef Morpher. Yet, from the moment he arrives, something feels... off. He is distracted, checking the tide, and constantly watching the door.
Demetra’s professional instincts are screaming that he’s hiding something. Is this just first-date jitters? Is she self-sabotaging with her usual suspicious nature? Or has she just swum into a situation much more complicated—and dangerous—than a simple dinner for two?

She lands a career-defining campaign pitch in the Nola Trench, is offered a massive promotion to Lead CarvMersa, and finds herself pursued by Deon—a handsome, attentive FisMersa who feels like a nearly perfect Mersa Mate.
Instead of celebrating, Fatima is paralyzed by the "terror of success". Her overactive premonitions flare up, convincing her that this consistently blessed, high-vibration life is just a setup for a devastating fall.
