A Serenade of Mermaids

About the Book

Plunge into the Deep

Beneath the sea, off the shore of Scotland, there waits a beautiful princess cursed to live her life as a seal, except for one night each year. In Japan there lives a sea maiden who can change shape at will to become any underwater creature. And in Switzerland, in the Lake of Zug, there is a mermaid who falls so deeply in love with a human man that she will do anything to keep him beneath the water with her.

Discover an underwater kingdom where these, and many other mermaids from around the world, are waiting to meet you. But be careful–not all mermaids can be trusted…
