Walker Books Ltd The Siren, the Song and the Spy
Book SynopsisA diverse resistance force fights to topple an empire in this vibrant fantasy about freedom, identity and decolonization.By sinking a fleet of Imperial Warships, the Pirate Supreme and their resistance fighters have struck a massive blow against the Emperor. Now allies from across the empire are readying themselves, hoping against hope to bring about the end of the conquerors’ rule and the rebirth of the Sea. But trust and truth are hard to come by in this complex world of mermaids, spies, warriors, and aristocrats. Who will Genevieve – lavishly dressed but washed up, half dead, on the Wariuta island shore – turn out to be? Is warrior Koa’s kindness towards her admirable, or is his sister Kaia’s sharp suspicion wiser? And back in the capital, will pirate-spy Alfie really betray the Imperials who have shown him affection, especially when a duplicitous senator reveals xe would like nothing better?Meanwhile, the Sea is losing more and more of herself as her daughters continue to be brutally hunted, and the Empire continues to expand through profits made from their blood. The threads of time, a web of schemes, shifting loyalties, and blossoming identities converge in this story of unlikely young allies trying to forge a new and better world.Trade ReviewMaggie Tokuda-Hall has such a talent in writing this genre. * NetGalley Reviewer *The author’s world building is excellent, as are the characters she has created and developed. They are well formed and deep… The big themes of identity (individual and group), freedom, decolonisation, war and resistance are covered well and the friction between wanting freedom but having to inflict violence to achieve it is palpable. * Beth's Book Case *The Siren, the Song and the Spy was a joyful ride, whilst still exploring the effects of colonialism, identity and justice… The rep in this was wonderful, it truly felt diverse. * NetGalley Reviewer *Maggie Tokuda-Hall has such a talent in writing this genre. * NetGalley Reviewer *An immersive fantasy which is going to whisk you over the high seas... Gripping and unique. * Armadillo Magazine *
