Synopsis

"Life at the surface isn't a decision that can be made. It's something you have to be chosen to receive. What mermaids lack that humans possess isn't legs. It's a soul."

To her senior class, Gwendolyn is living a fairy tale. She has the diploma, the ring, and Ryan—the high school sweetheart who promised her forever before life even really began. He is her safe harbor, the golden boy who holds her future in his hands.

But ever since her best friend disappeared, the sun hasn't been enough to chase away the cold. While everyone else is celebrating new beginnings, Gwendolyn is haunted by the past—searching for a piece of her heart that was lost at the cliffs.

Then he emerges.

His name is Marcus, and his mirrored eyes reflect a world Gwendolyn doesn’t understand. He is everything Ryan is not—captivating, dangerous, and utterly broken. Gwendolyn is drawn to the enigmatic stranger who speaks the secrets she thought were only in her dreams.

But Marcus didn't enter her life by chance. A grievous oath binds him to the sea—a promise that demands the payment of a soul. As she struggles to pursue the truth of her friend’s disappearance, Gwendolyn realizes Marcus is the only one who can protect her from the darkness—even if he is the very thing she needs protection from.

One man holds the keys to her future, while the other holds the truth of her past. In the end, her heart can only belong to one.

Waters of Change explores the jagged line between the life we are promised and the one we are meant to reclaim. Part faith-based allegory, part supernatural nightmare, this is a story at its most redemptive—where the ocean is treacherous, the stakes are eternal, and the mermaids are hauntingly reimagined.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Life at the surface isn’t a decision that can be made. It’s something you have to be chosen to receive. What mermaids lack that humans possess, isn't legs. It’s a soul.”

Gwendolyn and Emma were best friends.

Until Emma vanished.

Since then, Gwendolyn’s life has been flipped upside down. She is being troubled by a past that has no answers, a crumbling relationship with her longtime boyfriend, Ryan, and a set of paranoid parents who are afraid to let her go. Curfews and locked windows can keep out harm.

But nothing can stop the urges.

Sudden, overpowering, unnatural--Gwendolyn is drawn to ocean’s hypnotic shore like a moth to the flame. It’s where she thinks Emma disappeared.

It’s where she meets Marcus.

A mysterious stranger with eyes that pierce her soul, his presence is an irresistible distraction. But there are things about Marcus that she can’t explain. And there are reasons he’s appeared that go beyond fate. The more she discovers the truth behind the man, the more she discovers he isn't a man at all.

Gwendolyn’s relationships are filled with dark secrets that she’s determined to uncover. She will go to any length to get the answers that she seeks. And what she finds will reveal the ultimate fate of her soul.

Amy Astorga’s thrilling novel is the first in the Waters of Change trilogy, an urban fantasy series filled with compelling symbolism, depth, and mermaids.
