Deep in the ocean, in a
world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their
communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all
over the globe.
When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin's arrow poisons Sera's mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin's master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world's very existence.

My thoughts: One gorgeous cover, an epic fantasy storyline, and the author that blew me away with her YA debut Revolution back in 2010...perfect combo. It's been a long wait for more from this author---I'm ready!
Ohhhhh I want this. Really really badly. Thanks for introducing me to it, I've never seen it anywhere before!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this whatsoever, but it sounds amazing! I always liked mermaids as a little girl, and this really has hints of the little mermaid in it, so I'm pleased. I hope you get to read it!
