“Achingly atmospheric and beautifully sharp, A Study in Drowning will draw you in from the first page.” —Rory Power, New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls

Effy Sayre has always believed in fairy tales. Haunted by visions of the Fairy King since childhood, she's had no choice.

  • _Umaroth_fez uma citaçãohá 15 dias
    When the king was first interred,
    He did not dream at all.
    It was the abhorrent nothingness
    That cast a dreadful pall.
    That bleak and black oblivion
    Was too much like death to bear.

    For the half-dead king’s despair.
    From “The Dreams of a Sleeping King” by Colin Blackmar, 193 AD
  • _Umaroth_fez uma citaçãohá 15 dias
    I can hear the mermaids singing
    Beneath the rolling, wanton waves,
    Their hair as lush as meadowsweet,
    Their maidenheads as ripe for plunder
    As the gold inside their sunken chests.
    From “Great Captain and His Sea-Bride,” collected in The Poetical Works of Emrys Myrddin, 196–208 AD
  • _Umaroth_fez uma citaçãohá 16 dias
    What is a mermaid but a woman half-drowned,
    What a selkie but an unwilling wife,
    What a tale but a sea-net, snatching up both
    From the gentle tumult of dark waves?
    From “Elegy for a Siren,” collected in The Poetical Works of Emrys Myrddin, 196–208 AD
