Taking place in the world of Cassandra Rose Clarke's Magic of Blood
and Sea, this is the story of a would-be witch who embarks on an
adventure filled with intrigue, mystery, mermaids, and magic.
Hanna has spent her life hearing about the adventures of her namesake
Ananna, the lady pirate, and assassin Naji, and dreams to have some
adventures of her own.
One day when Hanna is with her apprentice--a taciturn fisherman called
Kolur--the boat is swept wildly off course during a day of storms and
darkness. In this strange new land, Kolur hires a stranger to join the
crew and, rather than heading home, sets a course for the dangerous
island of Jadanvar. As Hanna meets a secretive merboy--and learns that
Kolur has a deadly past--she soon realizes that wishing for adventures
can be deadly...because those wishes might come true.
