She no longer wants to be a part of his world.But he must convince her to save it… Varun Zale is the descendant of the prince she once chose not to kill.
Varun can’t explain how storms obey Ashe or why her eye color changes to match the tossing waves, but he suspects she is more than the mute ship captain she pretends to be. His growing fascination leads him from the shallows of a fairy tale to the depths of a mystery older than recorded time. In the midnight reaches of the ocean, monstrous titans stir. An unstoppable disease becomes a weapon in the hands of the mer-king.

I am a very strange person because I have several people who are truly beloved even though I’ve never met them. It’s the love of a junkie for her drug pusher only in this case it’s the addiction is for great fiction with the pushers being the authors who create it. Jade Kerrion is a prime example of that. As such I thanked heaven when this particular “pusher” appeased my addiction by coming out with new “product”, namely (hallelujah) a whole new series, Cursed Tides, the first book of which is Daughter of Air. And what a book! Ashe is an amazing character and her story is indeed the promised crazy blend of “urban fantasy, science fiction, fairy tales, and mythology”. It’s also an extraordinary fun (and, as expected, well written) ride indeed full of fantastic characters from Varun Zale (I adore him) to a mer-king (definitely not adored) to titans and a unique take on mer-folk. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises – the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
