A forbidden secret sparks a perilous journey. Born with a red starfish etched on her cheek, sixteen-year-old Sofi thinks visiting the Merfolk will cure her loneliness, and dreams of the honors they'll bestow upon the girl who bears the mark of Lithuania’s sea goddess. But her plans crumble when she learns the hidden truth about her family. Now her mother is the mermaid queen’s prisoner, alone in a cave guarded by a wraith. The price of freedom? Journey deep into the forest and challenge a coven of hedgewitches for an ancient magic stolen from the Baltic Sea, a power that grants its bearer absolute control. But that fearsome sorcery is wielded by a cold-blooded enchantress, and she’s determined to send Sofi home as crushed and broken as every contender who came before. Because once Sofi casts a spell, she won’t be able to stop.
This cover is everything! I love it when the covers actually make sense with the book. As well as the titles. That little Aha! moment is the best when reading.
I really enjoyed this!
This book is innovative and delightful. For the most part I really liked all the characters, the flaws and all. The world building was perfect and the growth of the characters throughout the book kept it from getting stale. The only reason I'm giving this 4/5 Stars is because there were moments where things moved slowly. Other than those few moments, the pages seemed to disappear quickly.
