Everyone likes Humaira "Hani" Khan—she’s easy going and one of the most popular girls at school. But when she comes out to her friends as bisexual, they invalidate her identity, saying she can’t be bi if she’s only dated guys. Panicked, Hani blurts out that she’s in a relationship…with a girl her friends absolutely hate—Ishita "Ishu" Dey. Ishu is the complete opposite of Hani. She’s an academic overachiever who hopes that becoming head girl will set her on the right track for college. But Ishita agrees to help Hani, if Hani will help her become more popular so that she stands a chance of being elected head girl.

Despite their mutually beneficial pact, they start developing real feelings for each other. But relationships are complicated, and some people will do anything to stop two Bengali girls from achieving happily ever after.

Много лет назад три сестры Холлоу пропали прямо из-под надзора родителей.

Спустя месяц они появились в том же месте целыми и невредимыми. Но с того момента что-то изменилось.

Их темные волосы стали пепельно-белыми, глаза потемнели, а аппетит стал просто нечеловеческим. Вдобавок между ключицами у каждой появился странный шрам в виде полумесяца.

Никто не знает правду о том, что случилось, — даже они сами. Девочки Холлоу просто пытаются жить дальше.

Но когда старшая сестра, Грейс, вновь пропадает, у них нет выбора: они должны посмотреть в глаза прошлому и раскрыть тайну своего исчезновения.

Simi prayed to the gods, once. Now she serves them as Mami Wata—a mermaid—collecting the souls of those who die at sea and blessing their journeys back home.

But when a living boy is thrown overboard, Simi goes against an ancient decree and does the unthinkable—she saves his life. And punishment awaits those who dare to defy the gods.

To protect the other Mami Wata, Simi must journey to the Supreme Creator to make amends. But all is not as it seems. There's the boy she rescued, who knows more than he should. And something is shadowing Simi, something that would rather see her fail . . .

Danger lurks at every turn, and as Simi draws closer, she must brave vengeful gods, treacherous lands, and legendary creatures. Because if she fails, she risks not only the fate of all Mami Wata, but also the world as she knows it.
