NEREID UNBOUND

AVAILABLE NOW!

Book cover design for 'Nereio Unbound' by Sage Byrne, featuring a person snorkeling underwater with a shark silhouette in the background, blue water, and pink metallic text.

Some truths are buried deep. Others rise with the tide.

Nerissa Morgen, nature photographer and Choctaw descendant, has spent five years rebuilding her life in Niceville, Florida, after the death of her father.

But when Brandt Murphy, a seasoned wizard-detective, follows a chilling trail of magical disappearances to Nerissa and the decades-old mystery of her missing mother, he uncovers ancient magic and dangerous family secrets. As buried truths surface on the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, Nerissa is swept into a conflict involving dark magic, missing persons, and an otherworldly legacy she never wanted.

To survive, she must embrace her Nereid and Choctaw heritage and the magic they hold—or be lost to the dark forces seeking to claim her.

*Nereid Unbound is a mystery-driven urban fantasy where mythology, hidden magic, and family secrets take center stage, with a slow-burn romance that grows naturally throughout the series.

Testimonials

“A sympathetic main character moves through a fascinating world where Native American and classical mythologies are fused into a believable whole. Sage’s descriptions of the natural world really bring it to life! — J. Essex

“A little bit of everything rolled up into one story. Magic and mystery in every chapter described in such lavish detail you feel like you are there. Romance is woven into the story and while it's not what I personally look for it is well done and does not overwhelm the story.”—K. Lord
