Elisa, a shy, sixteen-year-old, is lured to what seems like certain death in the ocean, only to discover that she is one of the marfolk, the humanoid sea creatures who live in the city of Jeneri on the bottom of the ocean. Even more extraordinary, the inhabitants believe that she is their chosen one, the Daughter of the Sea, who will save their people from annihilation by the fearsome nightdragons.

★★★★
“Daughter of the Sea is a well-constructed book, following secure paths in its narrative but set in a very original world.”
LESTRARKLEFINN

“The world of the story is cohesive and convincing, and the wonder that the new, enchanting environment evokes in Elisa is well conveyed, just as much as the cold and darkness of the Arctic Sea when Elisa heads to confront the merfolk’s adversaries for the story’s final showdown. The descriptions of the environment and the wildlife in those sections are so vivid that it quickly brings to mind the nature documentaries of David Attenborough.”
MARIA BJARKADOTTIR, THE LITERATURE WEB

★★★★
“This is a prime young adult book that adventurers should not miss, even if they are long past their teenage years.”
RAGNHILDUR THRASTARDOTTIR, MORGUNBLADID DAILY
