    [synopsis] => Two different people from two very different worlds. Can a mermaid and a human boy find love? Can they survive in his world and hers? 
A regal and highly trained young mermaid, Marina, is on her first spy mission to Skyeworld in 2020. She comes ashore on Siesta Key, Florida where she meets feisty Lukas, a proud Cuban refugee. Marina will have to choose between the advanced civilization of Aquantis, where she has been chosen as a High Priestess, and her love for Lukas and his dangerously polluted SkyeWorld. 
The DROWNING WORLD is an inventive and mesmerizing saga set in a vivid future of rising seas, floating cities, and Flood Lands. Marina's magic and skill save Lukas' life. But can she save her own against a lifelong nemesis from her world? 
"The Drowning World is a rollicking good tale of shape-shifting, time travel, mermaids, the secret world of Aquantis, and other dreams of Peterson's glorious imagination--all set against the backdrop of powerful forces--the fate of the seas, human turmoil, young love, and what everyone feels at some point in their life: The sense of being an alien in an alien land. Its pull is oceanic--it quickly lures you deep beneath its waves while time evaporates."--Diane Ackerman, The Zookeeper's Wife 
"A wonderful novel,"-Marion Copeland, Nature in Legend and Story 
"This underwater world is so believable and vivid and fascinating. It's a page-turner. Irresistible."-Sy Montgomery, The Good, Good Pig
