A naïve mermaid, a necklace storing the last of her lifeforce, and a ghoul willing to kill for her secrets.

Mermaids are forever young and beautiful - until they run out of lifeforce. To survive, they must kill. Every. Single. Year. They're not gentle Creatures of legend. They're both deadly and vulnerable. And they were once human, too.

Grace Harpeden, the youngest of all mermaids, has less than a day to live unless she can find a new victim to drown, and it tears at her soul.

Despite the risks to her own life, Grace balks while trying to drown a young boy. In doing so, she loses her most precious item - the necklace storing the last of her lifeforce. If she can't get it back and soon, she'll die at sunset.

After discovering the human who found it, Grace makes a deal to get it back - drawing the attention of a power-hungry ghoul who covets Grace's ability to store lifeforce.

It's an ability almost any Creature would kill for.

Grace isn't just fighting for her own life, but for everyone she cares about, human and mermaid alike. If she fails to bury her secret, mermaids will face persecution, slavery, and a war without end.

That's not something Grace will tolerate. And she'll risk her own life to prevent it.

If you love fast-paced action-packed urban fantasy full of twists and turns, Epicentre has everything you need to begin your new adventure.

Discover just how far Grace will go to protect the people she cares about, and just how deadly a threatened mermaid can be.
