A Magic Deep and Drowning

The Familiar meets The Warm Hands of Ghosts in this gender-flipped, folklore-rich reimagining of The Little Mermaid set in the waning days of the Dutch Golden Age, where a young woman is forever changed when the powerful queen of the ocean marks her life as the final payment in a sinister, age-old bargain between the peoples of the land and the water.
