FORBIDDEN SEA

Forbidden Sea is intoxicating: it’s a wonderful coming-of-age Cinderella story that really stands out from other mermaid romances! This is a luminous portrait of a small island community and an unforgettable heroine who must make a life-altering choice… Adrienne is struggling with the harsh reality of poverty in her seaside village, only to be swept away to an underwater mermaid kingdom to be the bride of the Prince of the Sea. Chosen for her noble heart and character, Adrianne realizes that she has not seen herself clearly for who she is--someone who could be a princess. She must make a decision: embrace this strangely luxurious life under the sea, or return home to the ones she loves and the difficulties ahead..
