Aquamarine

Summary

To most mermaids, salt has a capital S, but Eadie is not your average siren.

"If being a siren means I’ll eventually have to leave everyone who ever meant anything to me, then I don’t want it."

I’m the youngest of a set of triplets, and I share little in common with my sisters. Larimar and Lazuli don’t seem bothered by the fact that they’re destined to live their semi-immortal lives controlled by their salt cycle. But after it took Mom, I flipped the ocean a set of double-birds. The salt can’t have me. My life is mine. My voice is mine. My fins and legs are both mine—and I prefer the latter.

I try to live as a normal highschool senior, but I have my own personal bully who makes my life hell. I have a serious crush on Seth Foster, who doesn't seem to know I exist, and a reputation as a socially awkward science whiz. 

When I find a mermaid in salt-flush trapped inside a wreck, she is proof that the salt is a hateful master, with no compassion for those whose lives it ruins, whose memories and identities it erases. 

Can the weakest link in the Jackson chain figure out a way to free her when my hard-earned front as a normal teenager starts to unravel.

Or have I picked a fight I cannot win?

Note: best enjoyed after listening to the series prequel, Cobalt.
