Uma vida. Uma escolha. Um sacrifício.
Para salvar quem amava, Simidele renunciou a sua liberdade, sua família e o garoto por quem é apaixonada. A sereia Mami Wata jurou servir a um novo deus, guardando a Terra dos Mortos no fundo do mar.
Mas os sinais dos ajogun, as oito entidades responsáveis por todas as guerras e desarmonia no mundo, começam a surgir. E, por causa de Simi, agora eles têm uma passagem para a terra dos humanos e desejam destruir tudo.
Com o futuro da humanidade ameaçado, Simi precisará quebrar sua promessa e se aliar a um deus engenhoso e trapaceiro para salvar o mundo, reconquistar sua liberdade e ter quem ama de volta. Mas, para isso, ela precisará enfrentar as consequências das suas próprias decisões.
No capítulo final da duologia de fantasia de Natasha Bowen, sereias e deuses iorubás se juntam para chegar ao centro da alma do oceano.

I absolutely loved this sequel - that blends dark themes with moments of beauty. The author has taken on the stereotypes of what a mermaid should look like and act, and gives us these exquisitely described mythical beings. I loved that Natasha Bowen has drawn on the stories and legends she’s grown up with and has woven together this story that continues to draw the reader in.SImi is a wonderful main character and I couldn’t help but understand and appreciate why she does what she does - because her family is small but important to her and she is prepared to risk it all. The story comes together in a perfect way so that anything that has lingered from the previous book is tied up and you gain answers that may have remained; in fact I think that this book may well be better than the first - it was perfectly balanced with the romance, and Simi’s need to break the promises she’s long considered important for the good of all. If you’re looking for an immersive read that blends myth with a fantasy world the author has curated to be one that feels real, with a female lead who strives to do the best she can with what is thrown at her? This duology might be perfect for you.
