Magic & Mayhem

The Vast and Brutal Sea

The Vicious Deep

  #3

The thrilling conclusion to this epic fantasy trilogy, the Sea Court is in all-out war to claim the throne, and Tristan’s most trusted friend just became his fiercest rival. This clash of sand and sea will pit brother against brother―and there can only be one victor.

Two days. That’s all the time Tristan Hart has to prevent all-out war. Since discovering he was part merman and heir to the Sea Throne, Tristan has been fighting for his future, his friends―his life.

Now to win the crown and save the girl he loves, Tristan will have to take the ultimate risk: unleash the ancient magic of Poseidon and release the kraken. Seriously. It’s the only way to unite the three scattered pieces of the king’s trident and stop the sea witch Nieve from taking the throne for herself.

Tristan’s going to need all the help he can get. But the one person he could always depend on has betrayed him―Kurt now wants the throne for himself. Brother against brother―it’s a brutal race to the finish, and there can only be one winner.

praise for The Vast and Brutal Sea

“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
