Daughter of the Merciful Deep is a historical fantasy following Jane, a nonverbal young woman trying to save the town she lives in from being submerged and destroyed to build a new dam.
The book explores trauma and healing as Jane travels into a realm filled with magic.

The Enchanted Garden of Love: A Tale of Love, Power and Destiny! #NorrisRMcDonald https://www.amazon.com/Enchanted-Garden-Love-Power-Destiny- ebook/dp/B0F2ZWYL4C/ The Enchanted Garden of Love is a lyrical, mythic tale woven with the mysticism of Jamaican Maroon culture, the celestial guidance of the stars, and the divine presence of the goddess Oshun. Hidden deep within the sacred Acompong Mountains, an ancient garden thrives untouched by time. Known as the Enchanted Garden, it is a realm where love is a force of destiny—mystical, perilous, and powerful. Princess Oshun, the High Priestess of Love and Ruin, reigns over this realm. Her beauty is otherworldly, her power unrelenting. Many have sought her favor; few have returned. But a warrior of noble blood, born under the Dog Star and guided by Orion's Belt, is destined to rise. Narrated by the soul of an Akan Griot, this poetic prologue sets the stage for an epic saga of passion, prophecy, and power. The Enchanted Garden of Love is more than a story—it is a spiritual warning wrapped in celestial beauty. Due to its spiritual themes, poetic language, and mythic romance, the book is ideal for mature teens and adult readers who appreciate lyrical fantasy and cultural depth.
