A Song of Silver and Gold

A sapphic Little Mermaid retelling perfect for fans of To Kill a Kingdom and The Shadows Between Us.

Out in the open sea, it’s kill or be killed. No one knows that better than Kaelyn. For the past year, Princess Kaelyn of Avalon has disguised herself as a man, Captain Kae, and led her crew into tumultuous waters to eradicate sirens on a journey fueled by revenge for the death of her brother. When they return home and experience a fatal siren attack on Avalon’s harbor, Kae sets sail again to destroy the sea demons once and for all.

Aqeara is a siren warrior of Meyrial, an underwater kingdom hidden from humans. When her negligence during the Avalon harbor attack causes the death of Meyrial’s princess, she accepts the help of a sea witch to overturn her banishment. Aqeara is given a human body and has until the next full moon to carve out Captain Kae’s heart in exchange for a spell to bring the dead princess back to life.

When Kae’s and Aqeara’s paths cross, they fall into a whirlwind romance, complicating their respective plans. Kae must decide whether her desire for revenge against sirens overrides her feelings for the woman she’s falling for, and Aqeara must choose between resurrecting the dead princess or sparing Kae’s life.

Amazing. A song of silver and gold is a compelling tale of revenge, love, adventure and self acceptance… I ended up really enjoying this book, especially the last few chapters that almost gave me whiplash with all the twists and turns there were! Amazing debut novel!

Amazon review

This is a sapphic, enemies-to-lovers, super slow-burn read. Both FMCs are complex and each dealing with their own set of issues to overcome. There’s high angst and tension, and honestly, I could never pinpoint where the story would go. Some great twists and turns popped up throughout. A lot of my favorite tropes made an appearance in this book, including one bed and found family. If you’re looking for a read with sapphic Little Mermaid vibes, pick up this book!

This book was so much fun to read! The main characters weren’t boring, they had minds of their own and are very strong. I mean, who wouldn’t want to read about pirates, adventure, world building, great banter, found family, and forced proximity!?! This book also gives you mythical creatures, vengeance, enemies to lovers and lgbtq representation!!!
