A Fish Out Of Water
By Karin Kallmaker
A single word could cost them everything…
An above sea hunt for the pleasure and song of human women turns disastrous when Ariel, 77th daughter of the Mer Queen, shares rising tides — powerful passion — with the forbidden Erica. Court rivals quickly report her transgression and Ariel finds herself an example of what happens to those who defy the Queen.
Stripped of her voice and placed under a powerful curse, Ariel makes her way above water to Erica’s side. Erica, who is now dying for want of the one thing they can never share again.
Karin Kallmaker turns an originally dark fairy tale into a sensuous modern lesbian romance exploring boundaries of love and trust, atonement and pleasure.
