A voyage into a transformed sea

Thomas is the sole sailor left on a sinking ship who resists the sirens’ song. An ancient ocean god offers him rescue in return for help finding a cure for a plague that is turning mermaids into sirens. His search leads into a magical world, while a forbidden first love, the weight of his name, and a family secret complicate his changing sense of self. The looming threat connects the fate of merfolk with that of humankind, giving the quest both personal and wider stakes.

Book overview

You can run away from home, but you can't run away from yourself.

 

In a siren-infested sea, Thomas is the last survivor on a sinking ship, the only sailor unaffected by the sirens' song. An ancient ocean god becomes his unlikely savior when she offers to rescue him in exchange for his help. She believes Thomas is the key to finding a cure for the plague that's been turning mermaids into sirens around the world.

 

As Thomas embarks on his journey, he discovers the unfamiliar world of magic is nothing like he imagined. The memory of his forbidden first love haunts him, and the infamy of his name follows him despite his attempts to hide it. His comfortable reality slowly crumbles as he learns his family has been hiding a terrible secret from him-something the rest of the world already knows.

 

As he grapples with his new place in life, he uncovers a powerful force infecting the mermaids. If he can't stop it from spreading, merfolk and humankind alike will be in far more danger than he realized.
