Life as a
mermaid can be suffocating.
Sometimes following your heart can end up
destroying the ones you love.
When seventeen-year-old Eviana Dumahl is faced
with the responsibility of an arranged marriage and clan leadership, she is
forced to choose between the life required of a mermaid and one of a teenage
girl simply infatuated with the wrong guy. Kain, her devoted fiancé would make
a wonderful husband except that she’s been in love with Brendan, a
shape-shifting selkie, ever since they were kids. Choosing to abandon her
family, her clan, and her life with Kain will have dire consequences far beyond
anything she could have imagined.
A war is brewing amongst the clans and Eviana
unwittingly becomes a pawn in the intricate schemes of a twisted mastermind.
With Brendan’s life on the line, she has no choice but to involve those who she
once considered friends. Amidst encountering senseless tragedies and immense
loss, Eviana discovers that she is more valuable as a clan leader than anyone
ever suspected. Her survival is not only dependent upon the loyalty of her
friends, but also on her acceptance of a life that she had so adamantly tried
to escape.
Promises is the first book of The Syrenka
Series trilogy following Eviana and her friends through the perils of growing
up in a discrete world that inherently threatens human
society.
Amber Garr spends her days as a scientist
