Deadly mermaids who collect the souls of those who have died at sea and tasked with blessing their journeys back home, a boy who was suppose to have died, gods, betrayals, and monsters. Simi was a girl who died but has now been turned into a Mami Wata, a mermaid who collects souls of those who have died at sea and must bless them on their journey. Despite being given a new life, she still gets flashes of her old one and she holds onto them... making her yearn to be human once again. When she finds a boy who is thrown overboard she saves him rather than let his fate be decided by the sea... and by saving him she has broken a sacred rule. By saving his life she has now endangered all the other mermaids of her kind and in order to fix it she must beg forgiveness from the Supreme God and in order to summon him she must find the mystical rings... but first she must deal with the boy she saved. Simi has saved Kola, a boy who was taken and desperately needs to get back home to his family to make sure they are safe. In exchange for getting him back home he will help give Simi the ring’s she is looking for. Yet things are never as easy as they seem as they face many different complications on their journey, from vicious monsters, to the trickster God who has grown greedy and seeks the rings for himself to become as powerful the strongest god, and not to mention the growing feelings between them which is forbidden. This definitely gave me Little Mermaid but make it deadlier and filled with more myth, and I really enjoyed it.
