One sister can grow roses while the other can kill them, but what happens when their magic works against them? With her mother on her deathbed, a young woman is given a difficult choice that could either save her or her mother, but not both. And one missed phone call quickly changes the course for two sisters, but will they find their happy ending? Under Water is both heartwarming and tragic with a sprinkle of humor. These stories show the human connection in the lightest and darkest parts of life, reinventing the genre of literary fantasy. --------------- Paperback with Interior Artwork and Double-Sided Cover Publication Date: May 10, 2025 Author and Artist: Diana Elizabeth Clarke Publisher: Elizabeth Publications
