Song of Death - C A Varian - Bog

Cheating death comes with a heavy fine.
When her sister drowned, Azure Galanides was given a choice: sell her soul or let the child die. The decision was simple, and Daneliya lived, but the consequences were worse than she had imagined. Azure became a slave, turned into one of the Sea Goddess' murderous mermaids. From caregiver to killer, regret became her constant companion, and hope was a long-forgotten stranger. She didn't deserve redemption. At least, that was what she thought until she met Elios.

His stubborn will to survive, even as she sent his ship plummeting into the sea, sparked something within her. His determination to save her from her fate turned that spark into a burning desire for freedom. But the second she ran, the hunt was on. The Goddess would stop at nothing to snuff out Azure's life, and by helping her, Elios put a target on his back as well.
Can Azure protect Elios and gain her freedom? Or is she destined to die by the very hand that revived her sister?
Song of Death does NOT end on a cliffhanger.
