The Coral Keeper

​

Mateo comes from a long line of Hijos del Agua, or Guardians of the Sea, and it's finally time for him to learn which sea animal he's been tasked with protecting. Though he hopes for something swift like sharks or wise like octopuses, his talisman reveals something completely unexpected, and while disappointment is his first reaction, he quickly realizes that all parts of the sea are important.

He learns this firsthand when threatening shadows arrive on the shores of Mateo's home and he must fulfill his duty as the latest Hijo del Agua to protect the ocean he loves.
