Dive deeper than ever before into the expansive and secret history of the undersea world in this captivating prequel short story collection.

Stories from the Undersea World of Mermaid Princess Amelia, Vol. 2 masterfully unravels the foundational mysteries and personal journeys that set the stage for the epic Lost Symphony, exploring the loves, losses, and daring adventures of your favorite characters long before Amelia’s quest began. Are you ready to uncover the truths hidden in the depths?

This globetrotting adventure begins in the South China Sea with a royal romance shadowed by intrigue. In “Fate Swirls in the Colorful Ghost Month,” witness the fateful union of Prince Huang Yan and Princess Wan Thani, a marriage instantly complicated by the enigmatic disappearance of the revered Master Zhen Qiang. This pivotal event sparks a “Great Investigation at the Oriental Pearl Bank,” pulling the sharp-witted Princess Guiying of the East China Sea and a tenacious Korean detective, Jin-hae, into a high-stakes thriller of theft and deception that will have lasting repercussions.

The mystery ripples out to the Thai Pearl Empire in “Glowing Pearls, Radio Silence and Dead Oysters,” where Davika Thani must navigate the disturbing silence of her friend Wan and the urgent disappearance of a key military strategist. Her investigation pushes her from the bustling canals of Bangkok into the unforgiving heart of the Borneo jungle. Meanwhile, in the vibrant Kingdom of One Thousand Jewels, the spirited Kamadia uncovers a sinister religious plot by the Octagonal Crown in “Butterfly-Winged Shrimp Deity,” a discovery that threatens the very fabric of her society.

Beyond the high-stakes political intrigue, this collection delves into the profoundly personal stories that shape its heroes. In “Red Sushi. Monochrome Photos.,” follow a young Taisuke to Japan, where a journey to his mother’s mermaid colony ignites his lifelong passion for karate and forges a defining friendship. Feel the whirlwind of youthful rebellion in the Bermuda Triangle as the troublemaker Lara Lanorth, inspired by romance novels, embarks on a delightfully misguided search for a pirate boyfriend in “Princesses, Pirates, Traitors.” And cheer for Jayden in Crete as he, along with his friends, concocts an ambitious and clever plan to save his relationship with his mermaid girlfriend, Diamanda, in “Division for Mr. Xiphias.”

Finally, step aboard the legendary submarine Crab in „The League of Treasure-Burying Captains” with Mewa, a new Polish crewmember, as she is drawn into the secretive society under the gruff but mentoring eye of a post-exile Jet Mir.

Packed with over a dozen new characters and breathtaking undersea locales, this volume is an essential chapter for any fan, masterfully revealing the events that shaped a world on the brink of symphony and war. The time to start the journey is now.
