Cursebreaker.
That's what the Merrow call Isla Halloran, and she hates it. It was her father's sacrifice that ended the curse, not hers, and it's a constant reminder of her loss. To make matters worse, her mother quickly makes it clear that her return to her daughter and Merrow Island are part of a bigger agenda, one that includes a surly Finfolk prince who believes Isla's fate is tied to his own.
Isla has no interest in being dragged to the deepest depths of the ocean-not even to be a queen. And especially not if it means giving up her human half and the boy she loves. She wants to spend her time exploring her new world and heritage with the people who proved to her that blood doesn't dictate family.
But it isn't a simple matter of saying no. Long ago, before the curse, Isla's hand in marriage was promised to the Finfolk as a peace offering to end the war. An accord was struck and bound in magic. When she turns eighteen, she must marry Ridley or war will erupt.
