Synopsis:
Sharp,
sleek, and golden. Like the dagger she has worn since childhood,
eighteen-year-old Aeva is all three of these things. But there is
something else that this mermaid and her prized weapon share – they
are both hunted.
Hidden
within the caves off Iceland’s dark shore, Aeva waits to take her
place as the next ruler of the Meriads. But when Aeva uses her potent
and alluring song to save a drowning human, she disrupts a delicate
balance. Realizing she has unexpectedly bound herself to Gunnar, Aeva
is torn between duty and love.
Aeva
severs one life to begin another, and soon finds herself not only
rejected by the sea, but also stalked by an old enemy. As the worlds
of myth and man intertwine, Aeva will challenge fate to protect her
own sacred relic and the man she loves.
But legends and lies cast
an intricate net. With time and safety quickly unraveling for Aeva
and Gunnar, there is only one clear course: Find and defeat Delphine
before she can shift again.
