Skin Of The Sea by Natasha Bowen

In a world where mermaids are tasked with guiding the souls of those lost at sea, a young mermaid defies the gods by saving a drowning boy, setting off a chain of events that could alter the balance between the divine and the mortal. As she embarks on a perilous journey to make amends, she uncovers secrets of her own past and the true nature of her existence, all while navigating a richly woven tapestry of African mythology and folklore. Her quest challenges her beliefs and forces her to confront the boundaries of duty, love, and sacrifice.
