Call of the Fathoms

Deep Waters, Book 4

By: Emma Hamm

Narrated by: Will M. Watt, Carmen Rose

The City of Tau has long been a secret. Until now.

As a genetic experiment and personal guard to one of the Originals, Alexia has always known her purpose. Keep her Original safe. Ensure the city of Tau remains hidden amongst the depths of the ocean. And destroy any and all undine who try to make those jobs difficult.

Fortis has always known he was going to die early. His wife had seen a prophecy of his death in great detail, so he knows the exact moment he will expire. Which means he isn't afraid. Fate can not be changed, not even by the warrior woman who captures his attention. After all, he knows the hour and circumstances of his death.

He lures her into hunting him, but he does not expect to enjoy their battles as much as he does. This woman has much to learn. If he had more time, perhaps he would make a good teacher for her. But he needs to convince this warrior to help them, even though she hates his kind.

The longer they are together, the more they both realize that there is not so much difference between their species after all. And when Alexia discovers there is a great deception in her own city, she realizes perhaps it would not be so difficult to help the undine after all. Or… to even fall in love.

I didn't want it to end!

now im off to read the prequel, but id LOVE if we could get a series where they start to fix the storms and humans lIve above or something. I just need MORE!

Hate to let this series go!!! 😭

When I found Whispers of the Deep (the start of this series), I was a little unsure of what I was getting myself into, BUT! I am so glad I found this series!! It has the perfect amount of fantasy and the perfect amount of romance.
Each book I have grown to love each character more and more!! They are a delight and saying goodbye to this series just hurts 😭 can we please get ONE more?! For Olax?!
I know that through out the other books, Fortis was always a mystery to me, someone we would really never know, but oh man this book was perfect!!! And Alexia was a surprise too!! Love her!!
Seeing everyone else from past books was amazing too!!!
I can’t wait to see other master pieces Emma Hamm brings to us!

Amazing!

I’ve read all four books and each one has me pausing my life and itching to finish it. I don’t usually like mer-romances, but this series has me by the throat and now I can’t wait for the next one! 10/10 wish I could read again for the first time.

Full of action

I was impressed with the character development!
Emma Hamm always writes strong female characters, but I felt like the heroine in this stood out from the rest. As strong as both main characters are the way their vulnerabilities are described is heart warming.
My favorite of the series, but worth the wait. This story can’t really be appreciated until you understand undine culture.

I absolutely Love these book!

The book is amazing. The world building is amazing. The attention to detail that she give for each mermaid or “undying” as she would call them, is so detailed it really transport you to another world. Give it a try I promise you will not be able to hit the pause button.
