Fourteen-year-old Luce has had a tough life, but she reaches
the depths of despair when she is assaulted and left on the
cliffs outside of a grim, gray Alaskan fishing village. She
expects to die when she tumbles into the icy waves below,
but instead undergoes an astonishing transformation and
becomes a mermaid.

A tribe of mermaids finds Luce and
welcomes her in—all of them, like her, lost girls who
surrendered their humanity in the darkest moments of their
lives. Luce is thrilled with her new life until she
discovers the catch: the mermaids feel an uncontrollable
desire to drown seafarers, using their enchanted voices to
lure ships into the rocks.

Luce possesses an extraordinary
singing talent, which makes her important to the tribe—she
may even have a shot at becoming their queen. However her
struggle to retain her humanity puts her at odds with her
new friends. Will Luce be pressured into committing mass murder?

The first book in a trilogy, Lost Voices is a captivating and wildly original tale about finding a voice, the healing power of friendship, and the strength it takes to forgive.
