Sea Blooms

A heartfelt cozy urban fantasy about family, identity, and fighting for the place you call home.

In a modern day San Francisco where magical beings live openly among humans, Odysseus "Oddie" Saltbrook has built a careful life on land, helping run Maple Street Florals while secretly crafting ocean inspired arrangements in his free time. He tries to live up to the expectations of his traditional merfolk parents while quietly nursing feelings for Lily, his human best friend. When his boss announces the shop has been sold to a charismatic real estate developer, Oddie's safe world begins to unravel. As neighborhood businesses vanish and strange magic stirs beneath the surface, he discovers the takeover hides dangerous secrets that threaten more than just his job.

Determined to protect the shop, prove himself to his family, and finally claim a future of his own, Oddie must step beyond his fears to confront a mysterious enemy. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea, Sea Blooms blends cozy magic, wholesome romance, and friendship into a warm, character driven fantasy about belonging on your own terms.
