Dreaming of the Sea: A Modern Fairy Tale Retelling
About this ebook
Like Miriam, Gertrude was an orphan. Now she's the sea witch. A long time ago, she saved the mer kingdom from extinction. As payment, she demanded the service of the mer king's second son—and every second son thereafter.
Cole is the third second son to serve the sea witch. He would do anything to return to the sea.
Dreaming of the Sea is a retelling of Han's Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid."
