A Legacy Of The Pacific

Adventure, romance and intrigue meet in a titanic clash within the tale A Legacy Of The Pacific, a paean to Southern California and her golden shores. Ride on the back of a bottle-nosed dolphin at breakneck speed through the waves of the blue Pacific. Race against giant seahorses and battle beside immortal mermaids and medieval knights. Take a stand and save your city from a usurper bent on political upheaval while you fend off destruction from sea quakes and tsunamis, as well as from the onslaught of deadly pollutants courtesy of the mysterious beings of an ever-encroaching and often hostile neighboring civilization. Twelve-year-old Pincin is the recently discovered heir to the throne of the magnificent and ancient city-state of Nereidia Pacifica. He decides soon after being reunited with his family that having two elder sisters and the responsibilities of being a King is not a more favorable existence when compared to romping the oceans with the dolphin pods and otter colonies along the Pacific shores. A series of calamitous events force the young Prince to come to terms with the willful Princess Lile, a warrior bent on taking her place as Nereidia's monarch, and the winsome and ditzy Princess Ciona. He finds protection and companionship with his cousins: Curadh, the mighty leader of the Royal Guard; Hipponus, the brawny leader of an all-male Centaurian tribe, and Asterus, a shunned outcast and student of the occult. Once joined in their cause, Pincin's family assists him in seeking his rightful place among the people of this fantastic seascape peppered with 1930s California vernacular architecture, billowing kelp forests and sand castle structures. Along their quest, the siblings encounter aquatic heroes from diverse points around the globe who teach them that the myths and legends of the water deities of old have a vital message to impart in aid of saving our oceans and their inhabitants in the present day.
