Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pick is Sea Witch by Sarah Henning
Everyone knows what happens in the end.I was sold on this right from the deal announcement. I love villain origin stories and I was especially intrigued about what the origin story for the sea witch from The Little Mermaid would look like. Now that a full synopsis and cover has been revealed I am even more excited to read it!
A mermaid, a prince, a true love’s kiss.
But before that young siren’s tale, there were three friends.
One feared, one royal, and one already dead.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ever since her best friend, Anna, drowned, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. A freak. A curse. A witch.
When a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore and, though the girl denies it, Evie is convinced that her best friend actually survived. That her own magic wasn’t so powerless after all. And, as the two girls catch the eyes—and hearts—of two charming princes, Evie believes that she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.
But her new friend has secrets of her own. She can’t stay in Havnestad, or on two legs, unless Evie finds a way to help her. Now Evie will do anything to save her friend’s humanity, along with her prince’s heart—harnessing the power of her magic, her ocean, and her love until she discovers, too late, the truth of her bargain.
The rise of Hans Christian Andersen’s iconic villainess is a heart-wrenching story of friendship, betrayal, and a girl pushed beyond her limits—to become a monster.
It's going to be a long wait for this one as it doesn't come out until summer of 2018 but we can always watch Disney's version of the classic tale while we wait. We can only hope that there is a character half as charming as Prince Eric in Sarah Henning's version.
Expected release date - July 31, 2018
