In this sapphic retelling of The Little Mermaid, Míra, a siren princess, loses all memories of her beloved Skadi when she agrees to marry a human king in exchange for military aid. Skadi strikes a bargain with her deity: if Míra falls in love with her again, her memories of Skadi will return. But if she gives her heart to another first, Skadi will become the god’s thrall forever.

AGENT’S GUIDE

Draconologist Nevrin has spent her life preparing to inherit a coveted research post at a magical academy—until the queen invites a rival and decrees only one of them can gain the position. If Nev loses, she won’t just lose her dream, but the only home she has ever known.

Roan, an arboreal mage fighting to save herself and her decaying homeland from a mysterious illness, needs the position to access the academy’s closely guarded knowledge, or die trying.

Competing to restore a barren island, the two women’s rivalry blossoms into something deeper. But when only one of them can win, their hearts may put both their futures in jeopardy.

Before allowing her favorite knight to retire to a quiet life, the queen gives her one final mission: escort a pesky, sharp-tongued bard to a neighboring kingdom to perform a song as a betrothal gift. What the knight doesn’t know is that her new squire is a trickster, bent on sabotaging the mission—and the betrothal. But even the cleverest scheme falters when feelings start to spark.
