Synopsis

They re beautiful and they re deadly. These are not the mermaids you know. When an unnatural riptide sweeps lifeguard Tristan Hart out to sea for three days and then dumps him back on the shore of Coney Island, it s the start of the Sea Court claiming its own. Suddenly, Tristan s girlfriend dramas and swimming championship seem like distant worries as he discovers the truth: he s a Merman. Now Tristan must fight for his life, the lives of his friends, and his humanity (if he still wants it), while competing in a race for a throne as ancient as the gods. Like the seductive, duplicitous faeries of Wicked Lovely, these sirens of the deep have an agenda of their own.

About this title

Review:

"[A] multilayered debut . . . what she [C rdova] does exceedingly well is capture an authentic 16-year-old male voice and viewpoint . . .the great title, killer jacket, and edgy portrayal of the mythical creatures should cast a wide readership net." - --Booklist

Tristan's hot and he knows it. On one hand, he's kind of a jerk because girls have spoiled him by letting him know just how attractive he is. He's a lifeguard, in great shape, has turquoise eyes and a drop-dead smile. Even though he has some jerk-like tendancies, Tristan makes up for them with his looks, sense of humor, way with words and, most of all, his self-sacrificing love for Layla. Every girl we know wants to be loved the way Tristan loves her. Our plan? Lure Tristan in with our siren song. We can always overlook a mertail if it's attached to a guy with eyes like Tristan's... --Justine Magazine August/September 2012
