A Cry for the Deep - Amanda Linsmeier

One, two, three. Three tears. Three girls. Three wishes. Three debts left to be paid. S�lie Bell is perfectly content. Both of her sisters are back home; Corliss is getting married, and Aven is becoming more like herself every day. Plus, S�lie gets to spend nearly every day with her best friend, Pearl, working at the Bells' Apothecaire. But when a letter arrives for S�lie asking her to bring Pearl home to the nearby island of Salille, S�lie reluctantly agrees to accompany her friend on the voyage. And when they arrive, S�lie is shocked to find out that Pearl is actually Marguerite-Salille's runaway princess. Before she has the chance to process this news, S�lie finds herself face to face with a mermaid who claims that S�lie must repay her late mother's debt to the sea witch. S�lie secretly begins completing a series of tasks before the painful new scales growing on her legs overcome her and she turns into a mermaid, losing not just her life on land but any chance she had at love with a certain beloved princess. A Cry for the Deep is the highly anticipated sequel to A Dance With Death. This gothic sapphic mashup of The Little Mermaid and Rapunzel will lure you in from the first page.
