DARK TIDE (WATERFIRE SAGA BOOK 3)
by Jennifer Donnelly
In stores now!
Once a lost and confused princess, Serafina is now a confident leader of the Black Fin Resistance (BFR). While she works on sabotaging her enemy and enlisting allies for battle, her friends face challenges of their own. Ling is in the hold of Rafe Mfeme’s giant trawler, on her way to a prison camp. Becca meets up with Astrid and learns why the Ondalinian mermaid is always so angry: she is hiding a shameful secret. Ava can’t return home, because death riders await her arrival. And it is getting more and more difficult for Mahdi, Serafina’s betrothed, to keep up the ruse that he is in love with Lucia Volerno. If Lucia’s parents become suspicious, his life–and all of Sera’s hopes–will be extinguished. Political intrigue, dangerous liaisons, and spine-tingling suspense swirl like a maelstrom in this penultimate book in the WaterFire saga.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Deep Blue is the first in a series of four epic tales set in the depths of the ocean, where six mermaids seek to save their hidden world.
When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin’s arrow poisons Sera’s mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin’s master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world’s very existence.

I am loving this series so far! Mermaid stories go either way for me, but this series has worked for me. I also liked Of Poseidon by Anna Banks, though I have not finished the series. There are so many ways you could go with mermaid stories. 😀
Thank you!

There is something very magical about all sea creatures both real and fictional. Merpeople would be really interesting to know I’m sure.
I love how magical mermaids are!
Thanks for the chance to win!
The Little Mermaid is mine 🙂
I’ve always loved being in the water and I used to wonder what it would be like to be a mermaid
I love the Little Mermaid.
The Little Mermaid from Hans Christian Anderson’s book of fairy tales, it was so cute and I liked it as a pre teen.
Oh yay! I love this giveaway! I reaallly want to read this series! I guess my favorite experince with mermaids is the second little mermaid movie! That movie is one of my all-time favorites! I loved the idea of having a tail and be able to breath underwater! It was a dream I had constantly as a child!~
