Blurb:
The fairytale mermaid Arielle might have gotten her happily-ever-after, but her granddaughter Yemaya has inherited war. Her father was assassinated, her mother is slowly dying from a poisoned wound, and her people abuse her for her heritage.
Despite her fury at all the injustice, Yemi has been raised as the shield and light of a kingdom. And with the help of her patient mother and understanding personal guard – and future wife – Ennova, she keeps a level head. Most of the time…
But unrest is brewing, and rebellion in the air – and Yemi finds herself at the head of a country that would not have her. Stripped of her power, her heritage, her throne and everyone she loves, she turns to the only person offering her help – the ancient sea-witch, Ursla. But vengeance always comes with a price, one Yemi may be all too ready to pay.
