Song of the Sea

By: Meredith Leigh Burton

Narrated by: Becky Doughty

When one life is saved, a world is rescued.

Aria has heard this saying all her life, but it has little to do with her. She knows that her destiny is written in the Song of the Sea. She will marry, birth children and, occasionally, sing the Death Journey songs to guide lost souls to their final resting place. She knows that the Treaty of Separation prevents merkind and humankind from interacting except when misfortunes occur at sea. Aria is content with her life and
is preparing to embark upon the journey of courtship and matrimony. A chance encounter will force Aria to question where she truly belongs.

Prince Reginald struggles with feelings of self-doubt, a debilitating spinal injury that causes him constant pain, and his father’s harsh treatment. After an unexpected accident places the burden of kingship on the prince’s shoulders, he embarks upon a sea voyage and is attacked by an unexplained malevolent force. Rescued by someone he cannot see, Reginald is thrust into an unexpected adventure.

Aria’s and Reginald’s stories combine in unforeseen ways as they must confront an evil that possesses an unquenchable thirst for vengeance. Surprising allies and deceptive falsehoods battle, and the fate of
two kingdoms hang in the balance. Will the Song of the Sea be silenced?

Song of the Sea is a story of momentous decisions, forbidden love and self-discovery. For fans of fairy tales with a sprinkling of whimsy, a dash of darkness and a dollop of courage.
