The first in a series of epic tales set in the depths of the ocean, where six mermaids seek to protect and save their hidden world.
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 favorite mermaid story is from Hans Christian Anderson: The Little Mermaid. It is the first fairy tale that I cried because there wasn’t any happy ending.

I like mermaid themed stories. Although they have been told throughout history, we don’t see them a lot in modern writing, so its cool when an author goes that route. I like to see the mythology they build to incorporate them into our modern world.

The only mermaid story I know is The Little Mermaid, and the Disney one at that, not even the real fairy tale, but I love it!

I’m not sure I’ve read any mermaid themed stories, except maybe the original “Little Mermaid” tale. It was pretty gruesome.

I love mermaids but haven’t read any mermaid themed books yet. Waterborn by Kimberly James was cool but they were really considered mermaids. I love Ariel but who didn’t. I can’t tell u how many time hoisted myself out if the pool and butchered part of your world.
