Princess Mera is teenage royalty and heir<br />

to the throne of Xebel, a colony ruled by<br />

the other no-so-lost land under the sea,<br />

Atlantis. Her father, his court, and the entire<br />

kingdom are expecting her to marry<br />

and introduce a new king. But Mera is<br />

destined to wear a different crown....<br />

When the Xebellian military plots to<br />

overthrow Atlantis and break free of<br />

its oppressive regime, Mera seizes the<br />

opportunity to take control of her own destiny<br />

by assassinating Arthur Curry—<br />

the long-lost prince and<br />

heir to the kingdom<br />

of Atlantis. But her<br />

mission gets sidetracked<br />

when<br />

Mera and Arthur<br />

unexpectedly fall<br />

in love. Will Arthur<br />

Curry be the king at<br />

Mera’s side, or will<br />

he die under her blade<br />

as she attempts to free her<br />

people from persecution?<br />

An astonishing story that<br />

explores duty, love, heroism,<br />

and freedom…all through the<br />

eyes of readers’ favorite<br />

undersea royalty.<br />

From New York Times bestselling<br />

“Getting to write the part where Mera is figuring out who she is,<br />

what she wants, what the truth is, and what she is truly capable<br />

of—both as a teen and as a potential hero—is what I hoped to<br />

capture when writing MERA: TIDEBREAKER.” —Danielle Paige<br />

2<br />

“ MERA: TIDEBREAKER offers a riveting new portrayal<br />

of the ocean’s fiercest princess. With her passion,<br />

strength, and willfulness, Mera is sure to capture<br />

the hearts of both longtime readers and those<br />

who are discovering Atlantis for the first time.”<br />

—Marissa Meyer, author of The Lunar Chronicles
