Death Song of the Sea

The Midnight Myths and Fairy Tales series of standalone, reimagined fairy tales, myths, and folklore continues with this retelling of the classic Irish Folktale The Bride's Death-Song. Aileen and her father have a secret; they can control the sea and everything within in it. Despite this, Aileen's mother and sister perished in the sea, and the young woman believes she is stuck forever in her ancestral home on Ireland's West Coast. She goes to the shore daily and asks the sea for one gift: "Bring me someone to love, marry, and raise children with." Getting her wish could cost her everything, though, including her own life. This dark take on a classic tale examines the line between life and death, and it also asks a very important question - how far would you go to save someone you love? Be sure to check out the first book in this series, Vasilisa the Terrible: A Baba Yaga Story, which is based on the classic Russian fairy tale Vasilisa the Beautiful.
