Bookroo's summary

Serafina, a Mediterranean mermaid, faces a dire prophecy on her betrothal day. Her mother is poisoned, and an ancient evil looms. Guided by haunting dreams, Sera must unite five mermaid heroines from across the seas. Together, they must unravel a deadly conspiracy threatening their world. Will their sisterhood be enough to prevent a catastrophic war?

From the publisher

Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe. When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin’s arrow poisons Sera’s mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin’s master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world’s very existence.
