The Savage Blue

The Vicious Deep

  #2

The Ocean is a Vicious Place…

Deeper and darker than Tristan could have imagined. Beneath its calm blue surface, an ancient battle is churning-and no one is safe.

In the quest for the Sea Throne, Tristan has already watched one good friend die. Now he must lead the rest on a dangerous voyage in search of the trident that will make him king. But while Tristan chases his destiny, the dark forces racing against him are getting stronger, and the sea witch of his nightmares is getting closer.

Battling sea dragons and savage creatures of the deep, Tristan needs his friends’ support. But they each have their secrets, and a betrayal will force Tristan to choose between his crown and his best friend Layla-the only girl he’s ever loved.

praise for The Savage Blue

“This fast-paced read will appeal to Percy Jackson fans who are now older teens; there is plenty of adventure, plus a helping of relationship drama and a sprinkling of humor. . . .the page-turning action is sure to keep [readers] on the edge of their seats. The cliff-hanger ending will leave them clamoring for the next installment.” School Library Journal

“Tristan’s cocky, dudelike voice feels authentic, and the cliff-hanger ending leaves readers anticipating the next ‘clash of sand and sea.’” Booklist

“One of the few Latinas working in the hugely popular YA paranormal genre . . . Her books capture the gritty, freak-show cool of Coney Island and explore an otherworldly island populated by sea creatures that are dangerously different than typical Disney lore. The story also has a romantic current that runs through the murky, ever-shifting relationship between Tristan and his childhood-friend-turned-hot-chick Layla Santos.” Cosmopolitan for Latinas
