Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023)

Ruby Gillman, a sweet and awkward high school student, discovers she's a direct descendant of the warrior kraken queens. The kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the world against the vain, power-hungry mermaids. Destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother, Ruby must use her newfound powers to protect those she loves most.

In Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “kraken high school”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, identity, family, power.
