PITCH: Míra, a siren warrior princess, loses all memories of her beloved Skadi when she agrees to marry a human king in exchange for military aid. Skadi the mer Spellweaver strikes a bargain with her deity: if Míra falls in love with her again, her memories will return. But if she gives her heart to another first, Skadi will become the god’s thrall forever.

EXCERPT: "The servant led her to a gold-embossed mirror Míra had avoided until now, dreading to face what she had become. A stranger stared back at her. Her skin had lost its opalescent shine, scales replaced by freckles spilling across her cheeks, shoulders, and chest. She opened her hand, and the reflection did too. The webbing was gone between her fingers, her claws receded into round pink nails. The only thing familiar was her hair, red as sunrise, molten lava, a battlefield. She wore a deep blue dress that was too tight, stretching on her shoulders and back, made for someone shorter and daintier. She’d scavenged tattered human clothes from among the ruins of sunken ships to play pretend as a child, but it had never occurred to her that she would one day be forced to wear one."
