It is hard to believe this immersive, gripping fantasy novel is a debut. The world building, the magic, the romance, and the inescapable tension all work to form a thrilling read that draws the reader in from the very first sentence. Enna and Soren are both extremely compelling characters who find themselves weighing their sense of duty against their own personal desires. Soren seeking a bride in order to inherit his throne and Enna looking to complete tasks to be free of the blood oath she made. The two of them find themselves thrown together and grow closer despite all of the obstacles and hidden truths between them. With inspiration from the Little Mermaid Liesl West creates a unique fantasy world full of mermaids, sirens, and deadly blood oaths.
