For fans of Naomic Novik and Katharine Arden, a dark gothic fairy tale from award-winning author Angela Slatter. Orphaned as a young child, Mirin O' Malley has been brought up by her grandparents on their isolated, rambling estate Hob' s Hallow. Long ago her family prospered due to a deal struck with the mer, the terrifying creatures who live in the depths of the sea: safety for their merchant ships in return for a child of each generation. But for many years the family have been unable to keep their side of the bargain and their fortunes have suffered as a result. When Mirin' s grandfather dies, her grandmother puts in train a plan to restore their glory - but at the price of Mirin' s freedom. Finding amongst her grandfather' s papers evidence that her parents may still be alive, Mirin is determined to escape and discover the truth about her origins. This takes her on a treacherous journey to Blackwater, the estate her parents built when they fled Hob' s Hallow, but on arrival Mirin finds the estate in decline and her ' Uncle Edward' in charge: where are her parents, and who is this Edward Elliott really? A story of mystery and magic and the strange creatures that lurk beneath the waves. ' Slatter' s dark fantasies have a bright, burning core of understanding and insight. ' - M.
