In the heart of a vibrant ocean lies the Little Lagoon-a refuge where dolphins, whales, turtles, seals, and countless other sea creatures thrive together, safe from the dangers of the open sea. But when tragedy strikes and young Kiwa must take over as leader of her dolphin pod, she faces loss, uncertainty, and a world that suddenly feels much bigger and more frightening. Meanwhile, far from home, a humpback whale named Humphrey is on his own perilous quest: to reunite with his lost family. As he navigates treacherous currents, evades deadly fishing nets, and forms an unlikely alliance with a vengeful orca named Orlando, Humphrey discovers the true power of friendship, hope, and resilience. Through storm and silence, danger and discovery, the ocean's greatest survivors must work together to find safety and healing. When their paths finally cross, Kiwa, Humphrey, and Orlando learn that family can be found in the most unexpected places-and that even in the darkest waters, the promise of sanctuary and a new beginning awaits.

Mark E. Welch has spent a lifetime chasing the phantoms of story-first as a boy listening to the restless Atlantic on the coast of Maine, and later as a novelist drawn to the macabre, the historical, and the unexpected. Born in 1964, Welch's dark-edged imagination was forged on the rugged Maine coast, heavily influenced by devouring Stephen King's mid-1970s breakout masterpieces-like Carrie and 'Salem's Lot-as they took the literary world by storm. This taste for terror was balanced by the vivid clarity of E.B. White, Shirley Jackson, and Peter Straub, shaping a voice that is as precise as it is atmospheric. And by the way, Clive Barker's Hellraiser wasn't too shabby.That lifelong fixation has yielded a diverse body of work spanning over 14 novels, novellas, and short stories published across North America and Europe. While he frequently steps into the shadows with chilling tales like A Haunting on Cape Neddick, his Nightwitch Triolgy and his short story collections, his imagination refuses to be confined to the dark. He is the author of Kiwa's Story, a touching children's adventure about a young dolphin, as well as a series of comedic mysteries featuring Detective Charles W. Radcliff III-a well-meaning but delightfully bungling investigator whose unorthodox methods always uncover the truth.Welch now writes from the windswept coastal region of Viana do Castelo, Portugal, in the historic, shadow-woven district of Montedor. There, alongside his wife, Eva, and their two Boxer dogs, Thor and True Blue, he lives surrounded by ancient stones and the roar of the sea, continuously conjuring tales meant to haunt, humor, and surprise readers until the very last page.
