Beskrivning
A dark and explosive epic fantasy of betrayal, revolution and dark magic pacts, as the Little Mermaid's granddaughter marches to war, perfect for fans of H. M. Long and Samantha Shannon.The fairy tale mermaid Arielle might have gotten her happily-ever-after, but her granddaughter Yemi is having a much harder time. Her father, the king of Ixia, was assassinated years ago, her mother is slowly dying of a poisoned wound, and she faces whispers and slights from her own people. Yemi has been raised as the shield of the kingdom and is soon to inherit the throne, but she cannot shake her fury at how Ixia has treated her family after all they've sacrificed. Only her patient mother and steadfast personal bodyguard (and fiancee), Nova, help Yemi rein in that fury... most of the time.When the kingdom's discontented rumblings reach a fever pitch, a coup erupts and Yemi's throne is usurped, stripping her of her family and forcing her into exile. Now, only one being has the power to help her: Ursla.

Recensioner i media

L D Lewis' Year of the Mer transports readers beyond familiar waters to explore deeper issues of generational identity, trauma, revenge, and anger. The book has so much heart, and so many moments where my own heart was ready to crumble. I can't wait see it out in the world, wrecking havoc. A fantastic, deeply moving story.-Fran Wilde, Double Nebula Award-winning author of A Philosophy of ThievesA phenomenal book that is transformational as much as it transports. L.D. Lewis solidifies herself as a master of story and character, with no punches pulled, and many thrown in Year of the Mer. A book that kept me up night after night, whose turns left me in wonder with every surprise twist of phrase. Lewis knows how to keep the reader engaged, and how the ebbs and flow of tension should sink the reader into story.-Jordan Kurella, Nebula Nominated author of I Never Liked You AnywayMuch like the sea, there are depths to L.D.'s writing that can't be fathomed. You will walk away from THE YEAR OF THE MER heartbroken, pondering the nature of power and desperately ready for more. L.D.'s a true talent that deserves a generational audience. Be here at Yemi's beginning.-Brent Lambert, author of A Necessary ChaosExhilarating... Lewis crafts a maelstrom of familial love, ancestral hurt, and alluring magic.-Ladz, author of The Fealty of Monsters and The Cradle of Eternal Night
