β¦ Synopsis
Mermaids have been sinking ships and drowning humans for centuries, and now the government is determined to put an end to the mermaid problemby slaughtering all of them. Luce,a mermaid with exceptionally threatening abilities, becomes their number-one target, hunted as she flees down the coast toward San Francisco.
There she finds hundreds of mermaids living in exile under the docks of the bay. These are the Twice Lost: once-human girls lost first when a trauma turned them into mermaids, and lost a second time when they broke mermaid law and were rejected by their tribes. Luce is stunned when they elect her as their leader. But she wont be their queen. Shell be their general. And they will become the Twice Lost Armybecause this is war.
Review
Praise for *The Twice Lost*
"The Twice Lost offers a moving, action-packed and deeply satisfying ending to Sarah Porter's brilliant Lost Voices trilogy. What a beautiful, intense world of ferocious lost girls who find themselves at last*.* I loved it."
Carolyn Turgeon, author of Mermaid and The Fairest of Them All
Praise for *Lost Voices*
"[A] haunting debut. . . . Porters writing is expressive and graceful. . . . a captivatingly different story."
Booklist
"A beautifully written and heartbreaking story about a lost soul struggling to forgive the people she loved who wronged her, and ultimately to forgive herself."
Jennifer Echols, author of Going Too Far
Praise for *Waking Storms*
"Sarah Porters mermaid world is dazzlingly imagined and richly, hauntingly told. Waking Storms is as enchantingand dark, and lush, and tragic, and gorgeousas the mermaids' song."
Carolyn Turgeon, author of Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tale
"Porter has crafted another winner. . . . Like any good middle novel in a trilogy, Waking Storms leaves plenty of strings untied to keep you hungry for the final installment. But unlike many weaker series, this book also stands up completely on its own two feet (fins?) and is as deep, dark and magical as Lost Voices. A reader could pick it up not having read the previous title and be fine, while fans of the first novel surely will not be disappointed." teenreads.com
