Fourteen-year-old Luce reaches the depths of despair when she is assaulted and left on<br /> the cliffs outside of her grim, gray Alaskan fishing village. She expects to die when she<br /> tumbles into the icy waves below, but instead undergoes an astonishing transformation<br /> and becomes a mermaid.<br /> A tribe of mermaids finds Luce and welcomes her in—all of them, like her, lost<br /> girls who surrendered their humanity in the darkest moments of their lives. Luce is<br /> thrilled with her new life until she discovers the catch: the mermaids feel an uncontrollable<br /> desire to drown seafarers, using their enchanted voices to lure ships into the<br /> rocks. Will Luce be pressured into committing mass murder?
