The final book in the Fairy-tale Inheritance Series is a little mermaid descendant novel set during 1912 on the Titanic.
With the publishing date on the same day the Titanic set sail, April 10, The Little Mermaid’s Voice follows a sea princess who has spent her whole life trying NOT be like her aunt, the little mermaid:
Would you trade your world for a soul?
Ever since the fateful day when the little mermaid risked everything for a human soul, the merpeople have been under lockdown—absolutely no surfacing.
Sea princess Mairin bristles under the restriction and blames humans for her confinement. But when her kingdom comes under attack, the queen sends Mairin away to protect Edwin, a descendant of the little mermaid’s prince, from drowning. Mairin despises the responsibility even if it means finally breaking the surface.
Mairin decides to end the cycle of unrequited love once and for all by using the sea witch’s potion to give herself legs and follow Edwin aboard the Titanic. If she can make him fall in love with her, she will win back the freedom of her people. But as she gets to know the humans, her heart changes toward them and Mairin realizes she has made a bigger mistake than the little mermaid ever did. Can she save both the humans and her kingdom?Based on the original telling of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen.
Readers can read along each day, keeping time with each day on Titanic.
The underlying little mermaid story is pulled from the original by Hans Christian Andersen, which is quite different from modern retellings. In Andersen’s tale, the little mermaid longs for a soul so she can live forever. Her grandmother tells her that if she marries a human, he can share his soul with her.
