The Other Mermaid Billy O'Shea

'In the far north, a mystery has lain hidden for centuries'



The Great Cataclysm is over and humanity is gradually getting back on its feet.

Army medic Daniel Manston has already been executed once for a crime he didn't commit, and now he's determined to stay alive. But to do so, he must solve a centuries-old riddle about the relationship between the sea people and humanity. On the remote arctic island of Svalbard, he finds an ally in Deryn, a female hermit whose task is to transcribe records of the ancient past. Together, they stumble upon a terrible truth that changes everything - and puts them both in mortal danger.

In a land of ghosts and strange creatures, what is real, and what is not? And can you tell the difference, when your life depends upon it?
