Sea Witch

Wicked meets “The Little Mermaid” in the captivating origin story of the sea's most iconic villainess, perfect for fans of Heartless and Dorothy Must Die.

“This book reminded me of the magic inherently present in the best kinds of stories. Mystery and wonder abounds in Sea Witch, and I fell in love with Evie’s sharpness and her strong sense of self. Prepare to be lost in these pages for hours on end.” —Renée Adieh, #1 New York Times and USA Today–bestselling author of The Wrath and The Dawn

“Deftly transforming a fairy tale into a richly layered exploration of culture and relationships, Henning tells the origin story of the Sea Witch from Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Little Mermaid.’” —Publishers Weekly

Ever since her best friend Anna died, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. Hiding her talents, mourning her loss, drowning in her guilt.

Then a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears on the shore, and the two girls catch the eyes of two charming princes. Suddenly Evie feels like she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.

But magic isn’t kind, and her new friend harbors secrets of her own. She can’t stay in Havnestad—or on two legs—without Evie’s help. And when Evie reaches deep into the power of her magic to save her friend’s humanity—and her prince’s heart—she discovers, too late, what she’s bargained away.

“Readers who gobble up every watery paranormal story will certainly enjoy this angst-drenched tale of forbidden love.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This enjoyable read will entertain and be a great fit for collections where fairy-tale retellings are popular.” —School Library Journal
