Description
To most mermaids, salt has a capital ‘S’, but Eadie is not your average siren.
I’m one of a set of triplets, but I share little in common with my sisters. Larimar and Lazuli don’t seem bothered by the fact that they’re destined to live their semi-immortal lives enslaved to the salt cycle. But after it took our mom, I flipped the ocean a set of double-birds. No matter what, the salt can’t have me. My life is mine. My voice is mine. My fins and legs are both mine, and if I prefer the latter, so what?
I’ve got an arch-nemesis who makes my life hell, a serious crush on Seth Foster, who doesn’t seem to know I exist, as well as a reputation as a socially awkward science whiz. You’d think I was a normal senior at Brightrock Secondary.
Then I find a mermaid trapped inside a wreck. She’s been in there for too long and the salt has leached away every last bit of her humanity. She is proof that the salt is a hateful master with no compassion for those whose lives it ruins, whose memories and identities it erases.
As I try to figure out a way to free her, my hard-earned front as a normal high school senior starts to unravel.
Have I picked a fight that I cannot win?
