Publisher's summary
A mysterious shipwreck could unlock ancient powers… or send her to a watery grave.
Targa MacAuley feels more at home on dry land than in the watery realm of her mermaid ancestors. After 17 years on solid ground, she fears she’ll never grow into the creature her mother hoped she’d become. To keep her mom’s homesickness and true identity under wraps, Targa signs on for a mysterious salvage dive in the Baltic Sea.
Her plan to blend in with the rest of the crew is spoiled when she catches the eye of a handsome local. A freak accident and a strange connection to the ancient shipwreck below attract even more unwanted attention. With both her mom’s secret—and her life—in danger, Targa must finally find the courage to unleash the currents surging deep within.
Born of Water is the first book in The Elemental Origins Series, and won the Gold Medal in the Readers’ Favorite Awards in Young Adult Fantasy. If you like new twists on mermaid lore, simmering romance, and close-knit mother-daughter bonds, then you’ll love A.L. Knorr’s nautical adventure. Embark on a deeper dive into the story's lore with The Wreck of Sybellen, a companion novel included with the book.

I thought I had everything figured out. I’d gone to the academy for witches and mastered my magic. I’d opened my own witchy occult store, just as I always wanted. And my family was as close as ever. Everything was going according to plan. Until the wolves showed up and dragged me back to their land. It was all a misunderstanding. They had the wrong girl, the wrong idea. I was just a witch. And then I shifted. But nothing is as it appears…and now my life is in danger.

I was nobody. No matter how hard I tried, I never fit in with anyone at my high school. Now I know why. Turns out I'm a witch. A scary powerful one, too. Except The Coven that claimed me won't teach me how to use my magic. Suddenly, I'm selected by the Goddess to hunt down a mythical locket needed to save the world from destruction. The only person who actually tries to help me is the alarmingly attractive Tennessee. He has immeasurable power and breathtaking mismatched eyes. I'm drawn to him on a level I can't explain...and he's forbidden from getting too close to me.

Teach magic, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Yeah, well, they’re dirty rotten liars. When I told Tennessee we needed to have more schools than just Edenburg I thought they’d assign appropriate people to the task. Ya know, like actual adults. Not a sixteen year old who still has to finish high school herself. But then Tennessee became Coven Leader, and my great idea came back to bite me in the ass.

All the Feels
Where do I start?! The start of the book to the finish, I was intrigued. I think the moment I was hooked was after she had coffee with her friends and I was laughing so hard, because it was me and my friend group! I fell even more in love as the story progressed and the strong mother-daughter relationship was clear; as I too, have a strong bond with my own mother. I felt all the feels, and I can't wait to read more of this series. A.L. Knorr is a talented author, and is creative in storyweaving. What I experienced was a masterpiece and beautifully crafted.

Mind blowing mermaid tale
After this story no one will succeed in telling me mermaid do not exist! I adored the description and the interaction between mother and daughter and the love that bloomed between Targa and Anthony. The big finale had me in goosebumps and the way the narrator did her job was nothing short of magical. I read the book before but hearing it was beautiful.

Love this series. I can't recommend this series enough.
Really, you can just listen in any order after Born of Water. I loved them all. You will not be disappointed.

great new take on elementals
the narrator has a pleasant voice that grows on you. I was a bit bothered by the slight accent at first but the story soon made me forget everything else!!
I've been meaning to read the series for a while but love this opportunity instead. it catches you early on drawing you into where they are. perhaps it depends on that I have been where it plays out, that I can actually see the environment so clear.
it felt a little easy for Targa to learn how to handle her powers. I wish the next book was her story like I thought, that was disappointing and the thing that not gives all 5stars...

The World is hauntingly beautiful
I loved the narrator who introduced this gem of a story. The author, Knorr, is so vivid and detailed with her storytelling that I was drawn into the scenes and disappeared from reality as the story unfolded. I would recommend this rich story to young readers and those who are young at heart because you will not leave the story without a happy sigh and without an eagerness to continue with the series.

Just as good as the first time....
I was blessed the 1st time I read this book. I loved it with all the turns & up coming tales. I imagined the faces of these characters that now that I hear the story I see the same faces & know I still love this story.
Now it’s off to hear the next book can’t wait...
Thank you for letting me come along this journey.

Beautifully written story proving Mermaids are real.
Strong world and character development. Mermaid's must keep in contact with salt water, the saltier the better. This makes life difficult for them. Targa lives with her mother and her mother thinks her daughter will never make the change to Mermaid. On a trip to a restoration dive in the Baltic, she falls into the water and drowns. She awakens underwater able to breath hear and see perfectly. Her new life starts.
