An epic love story infused with West African mythology. For fans of
The Gilded Ones, Children of Blood and Bone, and Circe, this book
is a powerful new imagining of a devastating time in history, told
through the eyes of a bold and unforgettable heroine. This is the
story of a great love - a love that will threaten worlds and anger
Gods. This is a story that will change history. Simidele is one of
the Mami Wata, mermaids duty-bound to collect the souls of those
who die at sea and bless their journeys back home to the Supreme
Creator. But when a living boy is thrown overboard a slave ship,
Simi saves his life, going against an ancient decree and bringing
terrible danger to the mami wata. Now Simi must journey to the
Supreme Creator to make amends - a journey of vengeful gods,
treacherous lands and legendary creatures. If she fails, she risks
not just the fate of all Mami Wata, but also the world as she knows
it. "A compelling, moving YA fairytale, richly woven with west
African mythology" - The Guardian "One of the most epic and
original fantasies Ive read in a long time. Natasha Bowen has
crafted a world full of heart and imagination" - Nicola Yoon, #1
New York Times bestselling author of Instructions for Dancing "The
most engrossing, thought-provoking, beautiful novel...knocks your
socks off and leaves you wanting more" - Namina Forna, New York
Times bestselling author of The Gilded Ones "A triumph of
storytelling" - Kalynn Bayron, bestselling author of Cinderella is
Dead 'This poignant supernatural romance stands out for its
sensuous prose' Financial Times 'Fantastical creatures and vengeful
gods form a vivid backdrop to this rich and original story of one
girl's journey to find herself' Observer (YA Books of Month)
