Skin of the Sea

Natasha Bowen
Of Mermaids and Orisa
INSTANTĀ NEW YORK TIMESĀ BESTSELLER • The must-read Black mermaid fantasy series that #1Ā NYTĀ bestselling author Nicola Yoon calls ā€œepic and original,ā€ in which one mermaid takes on the gods themselves. Perfect for fans ofĀ Children of Blood and BoneĀ and anyone who can't wait for the live-actionĀ The Little Mermaid.

ā€œRiveting.ā€ —NPR
ā€œEvocative.ā€ —Entertainment Weekly
ā€œRemarkable.ā€ —Buzzfeed
A way to survive.
A way to serve.
A way to save.

Simi prayed to the gods, once. Now she serves them as Mami Wata—a mermaid—collecting the souls of those who die at sea and blessing their journeys back home.

But when a living boy is thrown overboard, Simi does the unthinkable—she saves hisĀ life, going against an ancient decree. And punishment awaits those who dare to defy it.

To protect the other Mami Wata, Simi must journey to the Supreme Creator to make amends. But all is not as it seems. There's the boy she rescued, who knows more than he should. And something is shadowing Simi, something that would rather see her fail. . . .

Danger lurks at every turn, and as Simi draws closer, she must brave vengeful gods, treacherous lands, and legendary creatures. Because if she doesn't, then she risks not only the fate of all Mami Wata, but also the world as she knows it.
