Sophie is a young witch whose mother and grandmother pressure her to attend the Royal Magic Academy—the best magic school in the realm—even though her magic is shaky at best.

Lir is trapped on land and can’t remember where he came from. Even so, he’s everything Sophie isn’t—beloved by Sophie’s family and skilled at magic. With his help, Sophie might just ace her entrance exams, but that means standing in the way of Lir’s attempts to regain his memories. Sophie knows what she’s doing is wrong, but without Lir’s help, can she prove herself? * Featured on the Today Show * An SLJ Best Book of the Year * A Nerdist Best Comic of the Year * A Book Riot Best Book of the Year * A Mighty Girl's Best Book of the Year * An ALA Best Graphic Novel for Children *

Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
An ancient civilization, brooding under the ocean depths. A forgotten race of witches, with dwindling supplies of magic. And I'm the spark that will consume them both. Death followed me to Ireland. First my parents' accident, then a string of vicious murders. As I start to unravel my mother's secret past, I'm drawn into the orbit of Sebastian, a mysterious stranger with impossible abilities, and Ethan, the arrogant hottie locals whisper plays with dark magic. When I start developing powers of my own, I don't know who I am, or where I belong... but if I can't figure out who is after me or the real reason my mother fled Ireland, more people are going to die. And it won't stop until the human race is destroyed. MERMAIDS ARE REAL And they're going to kill us all. ♆ Not everything in mythology is just a story. ♆ Not every fairy-tale is harmless. ♆ Magic is very, very real... but so are the monsters from your worst nightmares. Now I'm being chased by immortals, hunted by wizards, and forced to pick sides in a supernatural war I want no part of. I might be the only one who can stop it. But it will mean giving up the one thing my heart can't bear to lose. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING "A brooding supernatural thriller with a touch of murder and mystery. The romance had me glued to every page." -USA Today Bestselling Author Leia Stone ★★★★★ "This book called my soul and I answered with all my heart. A love story as big as the ocean, secrets that are unraveled and a lot of excitement. Wow - no words. Read the book, you won't be disappointed." -Amazon Review ★★★★★ "Mere folk, magic, monsters, and romance detailed out in a very crisp, twisted, and complex story that will keep you up reading this one until the very end." -Amazon Review ★★★★★ "A thrilling urban fantasy romance set in Ireland. The story revolves around Irish mythology and the clash between an ancient race of witches and the merrow (mermaids), who are preparing to wipe out civilization. Fans of Percy Jackson, Nancy Drew and Twilight will love this epic adventure that keeps you guessing till the last page." -Imlovingbooks.com ★★★★★ "Not just another Twilight - even though we do have sparkly mermaids instead of sparkly vampires. But the story itself is well told and the characters act and respond like real people instead of cardboard cutouts. The mystic premise of the mer-people is even almost believable in the context of the Irish coastal culture, and the interactions between the characters are more encompassing than just the make-believe of the story. Although it's written for young adults, as a mainstream adult I found the story entertaining and readable, and even subscribed to the author's site to get the next installment as well as his other books." ★★★★★ "The author's writing and editing is impeccable, and his research is substantial. I feel like I'm at the exotic locales described. His backstory and science behind the mermaid phenomenon is solidly explained and more than adequate to suspend my disbelief. The author also presents a lot of this backstory as not an info-dump, so kudos for that." ★★★★★ Shearwater is a young adult mermaid novel that will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, witches, Irish mythology, supernatural folklore and, of course, mermaids. UPDATED TITLE: This is the COMPLETE first book of the Ocean Depths Series; and is almost 140,000 words long. As I'm working on book 2, I decided to rename this book. So if you're looking for the sequel to Shearwater, this isn't it - this is the same book with a new title and cover. But stay tuned!
