At her first Confirmation lesson,
Catherine Lovich is given a beautiful rosary known as the Stella Maris. Unaware
of the danger attached to it, she accepts the gift, soon discovering that each
bead on the rosary holds a unique power, powers that only Merges can use.
Descended from angels and demons, Merges have the innate ability to manipulate
the elements as well as bring the past to the present through dreams.
After meeting Christopher Laboure
on her first day back at Agnaru High, Catherine learns that the arrogant but
heavenly-looking boy is a Merge—like herself. But unlike Catherine, Christopher
is a Seraph, a Merge who controls the fire beads.
When a heated kiss goes wrong,
Christopher finds out that Catherine is wearing the Stella Maris—the water
rosary his grandfather wants to destroy.
Along with its owner.
STELLA MARIS will transport you
into a realm where nothing is what it seems and everything holds hidden danger.

Teaser Excerpt:
Her eyes widened. She quickly
backed up into the locker, fear colouring her expression. I knew why. The fire
inside of me had lit up my eyes, turning them from brown to red. I clenched my
hands into fists, willing them to change back, the flames already trying to
burst forth. But it wouldn’t stop, my panic and hers now fueling the fire.
~Chris.
