Thrilled to share the gorgeous cover image for The Drowned Man’s Daughter, designed by Michel Vrana.
Naia never wanted to be a goddess, but everyone in her small island colony thinks that she’s the miracle child of the ocean and a drowned man who washed up on shore months before she was ever born. Naia isn’t special; she can’t actually command storms or call the waves, but that doesn’t stop everyone from asking. So she lies to survive, but the more the people she loves look at her with stalwart adoration, the more she wants to escape. But the ocean is full of deadly mer—and on land, the wicked moss creeps ever closer, wreathed in smog, carrying madness with it. There’s nowhere for Naia to go. She can’t keep pretending forever, and she’s going to be found out.
The Drowned Man’s Daughter will be available from NeWest Press in September 2025.
