ISBN: 9780374373665.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFierce, seductive mermaid Syrenka falls in love with Ezra, a young naturalist. When she abandons her life underwater for a chance at happiness on land, she is unaware that this decision comes with horrific and deadly consequences. Almost one hundred forty years later, seventeen-year-old Hester meets a mysterious stranger named Ezra and feels overwhelmingly, inexplicably drawn to him. For generations, love has resulted in death for the women in her family. Is it an undiagnosed genetic defect . . . or a curse? With Ezras help, Hester investigates her familys strange, sad history. The answers she seeks are waiting in the graveyard, the crypt, and at the bottom of the ocean - but powerful forces will do anything to keep her from uncovering her connection to Syrenka and to the tragedy of so long ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Byr)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950268543029,"sku":"ByrdShop_0374373663","price":64.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780374373665_58f54338-60e9-47e1-a1ba-581b819b0dd3.jpg?v=1778876901","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/monstrous-beauty-9780374373665","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
