Mimi
Cross, an award-winning and celebrated singer-songwriter, mesmerized us with
her raw and heart-wrenching YA debut Before
Goodbye which The Toronto Star
called “a book to set your heart aflutter.”
She delivers another enthralling and edgy novel—this time with a fantasy
bent. SHINING SEA (Skyscape, May 24,
2016) is a gripping, thoughtful, and enchanting story about a young woman
confronting the harsh realities of both love and tragedy for the first time.
Seventeen-year-old Arion Rush has always played
the obedient sidekick to her older sister’s flashy femme fatale—until a
mysterious boating accident leaves Lilah a silent, traumatized stranger. As her
sister awaits medical treatment with their mother, Arion and their father head
to his hometown in Maine to prepare a new life for them all. Surrounded by the
vast Atlantic, songwriting is Arion’s only solace, her solid ground.
Unexpectedly, Arion blossoms in the tiny coastal town.
Friends flock to her, and Logan Delaine, a volatile heartthrob, seems downright
smitten. But it’s Bo Summers—a solitary surfer, as alluring as he is aloof—that
Arion can’t shake. Meanwhile, Lilah’s worsening condition, a string of local
fatalities, and Arion’s own recent brushes with death seem ominously linked…to
Bo’s otherworldly family. As Arion’s feelings for Bo intensify and his
affections turn possessive, she must make a choice. How will Arion learn to
listen to her own voice when Bo’s siren song won’t stop ringing in her ears?
Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Maggie Stiefvater, SHINING SEA weaves Cross’s musical
magic into yet another haunting and powerful story. Arion’s world is an
ethereal soundtrack of first love and the stormy drama that sometimes
unexpectedly comes along with it.
