Four Regions

Dirge never felt at home in the Seas-her family made sure of that. A half-breed in a siren shoal where purity and beauty reign, she was a failure from birth. When her mother sends her on a mission for vengeance, she must trade her tail for legs and carry out a murder. If she succeeds, she will earn power and prominence among her kind. If she fails, her demon father will pay the price. When she arrives in a new region, she finds more than the darkness and evil she had come to expect. She finds power. She finds support. She finds a home. But Dirge must hide the secret of what she truly is and why she is in the region, lest her plan is foiled and her mother follows through on her threat to destroy everything Dirge holds dear.

Being part-human in the Four Regions is a dangerous business. There is no true safety, even when hidden away in the Mountains. That's why Fern's parents are so protective, why they don't belong to an established clan - she and her best friend Kraai have human blood within their veins. At least, that's what they've been told their whole lives. When Fern receives a letter from a mysterious stranger, the truth is revealed: • The truth about her parents. • The truth about her friend. • The truth about her own blood. Answers and safety lie within the Light Region, beyond a veil of secrets. Will the truth be too much for Fern to handle or will she be able to embrace an inner darkness to keep herself and her loved ones safe?
