Caius and Claire look out over their seaside harbor.

A brave heart, ready to help

Caius Cor

Caius is ready to help—and usually ready to get moving. When his harbor falls silent, his determination carries him into an adventure that challenges what he thinks he knows and shows him the courage it takes to ask another question.

Claire questions Caius outside the Guild House.

A question for almost everything

Claire Shaughnessy

Claire has a question for almost everything and a heart wide enough to hear the answer. Curious, spirited, and enchanted by the world beneath the waves, she sees possibilities—and potential friends—where others see only trouble.

A cheerful pink axolotl with feathery gills beside a clear freshwater stream.

Small companion. Big personality.

Axolotl

Small feet. Feathery gills. Plenty to say. This unusually magical freshwater companion brings dry wit, sharp observations, and a surprising amount of personality to the journey—especially when someone remembers to ask about his home.

Sera, a winged harpy, meets Caius and Claire on the cliffs above the sea.

Matriarch of the Harpies

Sera

With magnificent wings and a beautiful voice, Sera watches over the cliffs, the strait, and the young creatures who call them home. She is a fierce protector with a story of her own—and she is waiting for someone willing to listen.

Queen Nerelle, a mermaid with a golden gauntlet, speaks with Caius, Claire, and Axolotl in Atlantis.

Ruler of Atlantis

Queen Nerelle

Regal and watchful, Queen Nerelle rules the shimmering city of Atlantis with a golden gauntlet on her left hand. Beneath her royal reserve is a deep concern for her people and their waters—but can two children help her imagine a new beginning?

The Elder clam opens his great shell and reveals a glowing pearl to Caius, Claire, and Axolotl.

Guardian of the Alabaster Clams

The Elder

The Elder guards a magical passage to a world beneath the waves. Before offering its wonders, he asks travelers to look inside their own hearts—because a remarkable journey begins with an honest answer.

A mustached octopus investigator with a monocle studies a book alongside Caius and Claire.

Eight arms. An eye for the truth.

The Octopus Investigator

A shining monocle, a carefully waxed mustache, and eight busy arms make this investigator hard to overlook. He follows the evidence wherever it leads, though at least one arm must always be available for his mustache.

The richly dressed Guild Master sits behind his desk while Caius and Claire speak with him.

Polished words. Unanswered questions.

The Guild Master

Draped in velvet and gold, the Guild Master seems to know every ship and every answer. But Claire notices the questions he avoids—and wonders whether his polished words tell the whole story.

A sailor's hands check a cargo list beside rope and a compass at the harbor.

The harbor’s head sailor

Elias Ward

Elias knows how much a safe journey means to the families waiting on shore. Steady and practical, he keeps one eye on the ships and the other on the people counting on them.
