In the Birde Isles there's a saying: You cannot take what the sea is not willing to give. Ally Kingfisher never gave it much thought until she experienced the sea's wrath firsthand. But after a near-drowning leaves her with a deeply ingrained fear of the water, Ally still finds herself inexplicably drawn to its depths. As if something is calling to her from beneath the waves, and it only grows louder each year. Pasha is being punished for something she didn't do, sentenced to a life of solitude until her kin return. But mermaids aren't meant to live alone. Desperate for companionship, Pasha makes a deal that goes spectacularly awry, affecting the lives of everyone on the Isles for years to come. When a pirate captain kidnaps Ally's mother and demands Ally deliver the ransom personally, she is forced to leave land for the first time. Turning to Pasha, the one creature whose help she doesn't want but whose power over the water she needs, Ally strikes a new bargain to get her to her mother. But she'll have to confront more than her fears along the way... Because even those in favor are still at the mercy of the sea.
Autorenporträt
C.H. Carter is a fantasy author with a lifelong love of the genre in all its forms. In middle school, she wrote a fan letter to Tamora Pierce and received the most encouraging reply! That experience cemented her desire to become an author. (She also still holds out the hope they can meet in person one day!) Her first publication was a thriller short story, "Set Them Free, If Need Be", in the Sisters in Crime anthology CAROLINA CRIMES: 21 TALES OF NEED, GREED, & DIRTY DEEDS (2017). She has also been running the Writing Desk Blog for seven years, sharing author interviews, updates on her own writing, book reviews, and book giveaways.When not writing, you can find her working on a number of rotating projects (Crochet, anyone?) and obsessing over her two rescue dogs.
